Ingredients

8 ounces (about 3 cups) uncooked farfalle (bow tie) pasta, cavatappi, fusilli, rotini or penne
1 can (10.5 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
1/2 cup basil pesto
1/2 cup milk
2 cups cubed leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

Instructions

Tips
- Don’t have leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken on hand? You can also make this recipe with 1 1/4 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed. While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Add the chicken and cook until browned, stirring often. Stir the soup, pesto sauce, and milk into the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is done. Stir in the cooked pasta and cook until hot. Season to taste and stir in tomatoes before serving.
- Want to make enough to serve 8? Use a 22.6-ounce can of Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup and double the remaining ingredients. Cook in a 6-quart saucepan (you'll need to brown the chicken in 2 batches- if you do it all at once it won't brown as well).
- If preparing using Unsalted Cream of Chicken you can add salt to taste. Our test kitchen found that 1/4 teaspoon of salt enhanced the flavor of the recipe and contributes an additional 147.5 mg of sodium per serving, but you can add less or more to make it right for you.
- Want to add extra veggies? This dish is also delicious with spinach. Add 1/2 pound, washed and roughly chopped, at the same time as the tomatoes, and stir until gently wilted.
Step 1

Step 2

Stir the soup, pesto and milk in a 12-inch skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the chicken. Cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is warmed through. Stir in the pasta and cook until hot. Season to taste and stir in the tomatoes before serving.
