Farfalle pasta looks like bowties and has a great texture. You can always substitute a pasta such as rigatoni or larger penne.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Grill or sauté the chicken breast just until cooked or temperature reaches 165°F, about 4 minutes per side. Let cool, then slice thinly.
2. To make the pesto: Place the peppers, garlic, half the pine nuts, sun dried tomatoes, basil, mint, half the Parmesan, oil, stock and salt and pepper in a food processor and
purée until smooth. (If too thick, add more stock.)
3. Meanwhile cook the pasta just until al dente.
4. Add the chicken and pesto to the pasta and garnish with the remaining pine nuts and Parmesan cheese, basil and bell pepper.

*Roasted bell peppers: In a 425°F (220°C) oven, roast the bell pepper for 20 minutes
or just until charred. Cool and remove skin.
