Chicken Pesto Pasta

My sister and brother-in-law made this chicken pasta dish for me once. It's quick and easy, but tastes delicious! I've substituted whole-grain pasta, and added in some veggies, but the basic pesto and parmesan flavor is the same. Serve with some warm bread and it's a great weeknight meal.
