Hello Lovelies,
I hope you're having an excellent day!
Before I go further let me acknowledge that I am not a professional cook/chef. Let me also acknowledge that the photos aren't too great for this post. Being chronically ill, by dinner time my body is sore and exhausted so I didn't put in a heck of a lot of effort re:the photos and lighting. But the leads me to why I'm starting this series- Cooking with a Chronic Illness.
Since becoming sick I've found cooking to be one of the hardest tasks. As I said, by the time dinner rolls around I'm not interested in standing up near a stove making a delightful meal. I was always stumped at what to prepare to feed my body that wouldn't leave me in too much pain and discomfort for the rest of the evening. So I created a Facebook group of the same name. I felt like others had to be struggling like I was, maybe we could come up with some ideas of our own to battle the challenging of cooking whilst having a chronic illness. It's been good to share ideas on easy meals and have others understand the struggle.
The recipe below is one I came up with randomly after seeing lots of pesto pastas on Pinterest.

Pesto Pasta
Ingredients
Pasta
Pesto
Cubed Fetta
Chopped up BBQ Chicken
Note: You can add in or change this to whatever you like. I use BBQ chicken as I find it easier, but sometimes I use cooked chicken breasts. Sometimes I add bacon also. It really depends on what I have in the fridge.
Method
Cook pasta
Drain pasta
Place pasta back into pan and onto heat
Add chicken, pesto and feta to taste (I usually add about a tablespoon of pesto.)
Stir until mixed through (I usually mix through for 5 minutes)
Serve!
I'm not one for measuring things so I apologise if that is something you'd prefer. I find that this is such a fool-proof recipe that it would be hard to mess it up!
It might not look amazing but it tastes wonderful. It has turned into one of my favourite comfort meals!
