Few dishes are more of a crowd-pleaser than good pesto pasta. Tender white meat chicken provides the protein, and our creamy pesto supplies the healthy fats you need to keep going. Though this pesto is nut-free, the parmesan cheese provides a delicious nutty flavor that is rounded out by roasted garlic and black pepper.

The pesto gives this meal a great flavor.

Mountain house foods always rehydrate to consistencies we taste in our own
kitchen

I absolutely love this meal, but, of course, I love all of their meals!

Pesto Pasta with Chicken

Fantastic backpacking meal.

Hey Vincent,

Glad you enjoyed our meal! Have fun out there!

Not pesto exactly, but good

I expected a green pesto sauce, but this is a white creamy sauce with a large-ish amount of basil and parsley leaves chopped up. Missed five star due to not being real pesto-base and could have been saucier and thicker. Chicken was good in it and made the meal worthy.

A satisfying classic

Can't go wrong with pesto! On par with BP's bests

Thank you Connor! We're so glad you enjoyed our Pesto Pasta with Chicken!

Yummy and filling

Loved this meal! It smells so good while it is cooking. The chicken bits are really filling and the pesto tastes amazing. It wasn't too salty which I appreciated. It definitely adds to any outdoor experience.

Thank you for leaving such a great review, Nadia! We are so glad you loved our Pesta Pasta with Chicken!

Creamy with good flavor!

I loved that the pesto sauce was rich and creamy. The chicken is a nice add on of protein as well.

Thanks for the great review, Gina! We are so glad you loved our Pesto Pasta with Chicken!

Chicken Pesto is the Best-O

As a pesto fanatic, I was skeptical trying this version of one of my all time favorite pasta dishes. I was very impressed by the flavor and consistency. It was such a fun experience to enjoy such and easy and satisfying gourmet dinner under the stars! Thanks BP!

We are so glad to hear that! Thank you Lauren!
