Chicken Pasta in Pesto Sauce

The recipe I have below is by no means an original.  But I have made some twist to it to cater my own taste.  It is a perfect recipe for any left over Chicken or even turkey.  It is easy and delicious.  Hope you like it.

Ingredients:

- Left over fried or roast chicken .  In my case the breast meat.
- Pesto sauce that you can buy in the grocery.
- Pasta.   Does not matter what kind.
- Onions (one small one)
- Garlic (about 1 table spoon when minced)
- Cooking oil (2 table spoon) and Olive Oil (one table spoon).
- Pine nuts (about 1/2 cup)

Procedure:

- Cook pasta by boiling it accordingly.  Pour Olive oil to cooked and drained pasta to prevent it from clinging to each other as you set it aside for later use.

- Mince garlic and onions.  Chop up the chicken meat to sugar cube size.  Heat up Cooking oil and saute the garlic first till slightly brown and then saute the onions for about 40 seconds.  Then saute the pine nuts for about 1 minutes.  Add the chicken cubes and saute for another minute.  Then add the pasta set aside earlier along with as much pesto sauce as you want.  Constantly stir the whole mix for about 1-2 minutes. Voila, you got yourself a Chicken Pasta in Pesto sauce.
