Description

This pasta dish is a delightful combination of tender chicken, crisp green beans, and flavorful pesto, all tossed together for a quick and satisfying meal. I've been making this for years, and it's always a hit! The double cream adds a touch of richness, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner or a light lunch. It's so easy to prepare, especially with pre-cooked chicken, and the Thermomix® makes it even simpler. Feel free to add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken and enjoy a delicious, balanced meal.
