Preparation
-
1) Fill a large pot of water, add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
2) In a medium skillet, add the olive oil, garlic, anchovies and hot pepper flakes, saute until the garlic is lightly golden and the anchovies have melted in the oil, add the tomatoes, bring the sauce to a bubble then add the olives, capers and basil and simmer on medium heat for about 15 minutes.
3) Meanwhile, when the sauce is about 10ish minutes away from being done, add the pasta to the boiling water, allow to cook per package instructions and also saute the chicken until golden on both sides and full cooked through (should take 3-4 minutes per side) and when it’s got a couple minutes left, spoon on some pesto then allow the chicken to rest before slicing.
4) Drain the pasta, reserve about 1/4 cup of the starchy cooking water, then add the pasta to the sauce (make sure you taste the sauce first and adjust the seasoning before adding the pasta) add a splash of the starchy water and parm, cook all together for about a minute then serve alongside the pesto chicken.
