Chicken Pesto Pasta

In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup of basil, 2 cloves of garlic, 1/2 cup of shredded parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Add about a cup of olive oil and blend until smooth to make the pesto. Add diced chicken breast to a greased oven safe pan. Place a piece of fresh mozzarella cheese in the center of the pan with the chicken. Bake at 400 degrees F for 40 minutes. Meanwhile, boil 2 cups of pasta for about 8 minutes. Take the chicken and cheese out of the oven, add the cooked pasta and the prepared pesto to the pan, and mix well. Garnish with additional grated parmesan cheese before serving.
