  • 1 container (7 oz) refrigerated basil pesto
  • 2 packages (6 oz each) refrigerated grilled chicken breast strips
  • 1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (4 oz)

Steps

  • 1
    Fill 5-quart Dutch oven two-thirds full of water; heat to boiling. Add linguine, bell pepper and peas; boil 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Drain and return to Dutch oven.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use 2 cups cut-up deli rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken for the purchased grilled chicken breast strips.
  • tip 2
    Gorgonzola is a mild form of blue cheese. If your family doesn’t like Gorgonzola, substitute feta cheese.
