Chicken with Pesto and Bowtie Pasta

Easy to make with a rotisserie chicken!

Recently I bought this beautiful bow tie pasta made by Good Hair Day. Don’t ask me why any food product would have “hair” in the description of any product but the packaging was pretty cool. Beautiful girl with long hair and the clear opening of part of the package where her hair is has the pasta shape showing through. This pasta retained its beautiful color after cooking and there’s nothing more I like than color.

It’s been a while since I have posted a recipe. We are in our new house and after two weeks of unpacking we have about 95% of things put away. Organizing all that stuff will come later.

I’ve never been to Peru but I know if we were there we would be eating this Peruvian Pollo a la Brasa (blackened chicken) probably at some little cafe in the heart of the city. Maybe we will have to go there and try this dish first hand.

This recipe comes from Great Lakes Better Food website. I have no idea how I happened upon it; maybe when I was looking for chicken recipes to do in our new outdoor kitchen that is in the process of being built.

The spices in this recipe took a little tracking down; I found the Aji Amarillo paste at Whole Foods, the achiote seasoning at a small Mexican grocery (although I later found at our HEB) and the huacatay paste (black mint) on Amazon. (All of these can be bought on Amazon.) Believe me, this recipe is worth all that trouble. And besides, my husband did the hard work of cooking the chickens.
