Pesto Pasta with Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 (16 ounce) package bow tie pasta
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• crushed red pepper flakes to taste
• 1/3 cup oil-packed, sun-dried tomatoes, drained and cut into strips
• 1/2 cup pesto sauce

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic until tender, then stir in chicken. Season with red pepper flakes. Cook until chicken is golden, and cooked through.
3. In a large bowl, combine pasta, chicken, sun-dried tomatoes and pesto. Toss to coat evenly.
