1. First, we're going to cook the chicken. Using a large pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once that's done, add your chicken breasts, seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking. Turn them every 2-3 minutes until they are golden-brown on each side and cooked through. This should take around 20 minutes in total.

​

2. Once the chicken is cooked through, transfer them to a cutting board. After 10 minutes passes, cut it up and put them in the refrigerator.

​

3. As you are cooking the chicken, fill a large pot with water, putting it on high heat. Once it is brought to a boil, add the cavatappi pasta. Cook until al dente, then drain the water and put the pasta in the refrigerator.

​

4. Leave the chicken and pasta in the refrigerator for 60 minutes. As it cools, take a cutting board and slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Then, dice the red onions. After this, combine the two and put them in the refrigerator.

​

5. Once the 60 minutes is up, take everything out of the refrigerator. In a big bowl, combine the chicken, pasta, mozzarella pearls, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and pesto. Mix gently. It is now ready to serve!
