Feta Pesto Pasta with Crispy Chicken
Easy weeknight dinner 👏🏼
I took the classic viral feta pasta from TikTok and added a little twist. Adding a scoop of pesto sauce adds a level of richness and flavor to just really take this easy meal to the next level. Add crispy or grilled chicken for a little extra protein/volume.

Add in any additional veggies- spinach is good in it too!
