Semi-Homemade 20 Minute Basil Pesto Pasta with Chicken

This Semi-Homemade 20 Minute Basil Pesto Pasta with Chicken is just what the doctor ordered when you need a quick meal in literally minutes.

Basil Pesto Pasta

We are getting ready to embark on an Alaskan cruise with my husband’s family and because I spent some time grocery shopping and baking a few things for my pet/house sitter, I was completely out of steam when it came to dinner for ourselves.

Last week I mentioned that I was working with Sprouts Farmer’s Market to promote their grand opening here in Baton Rouge. They graciously sent a box full of private label goodies to provide a “taste” of what is to come in the new store and boy am I ever so thankful.

Basil Pesto Pasta

Inside my goodie box there was Organic Popcorn, Peanut Butter Puffs and Chocolate Flavored Coconut Rolls. There was even a bath bomb and some facial cleansing wipes from their Vitamins and Body Care department. Those makeup remover wipes went promptly into my suitcase!

The highlight, though, and what saved my sanity was the Organic Fuseli pasta and a jar of Basil Pesto. I knew that with the addition of some seasoned baked chicken, I’d have a healthy dinner in a matter of moments keeping us from ordering pizza or heading towards the dreaded drive-through.

Basil Pesto Pasta

This little jar of happiness is indicative of the type of items you’ll find once inside. The Sprouts Brand offers a wide selection of natural and organic products, as well as gluten-free, vegan and non-GMO varieties. 1 jar pesto + 1 bag of pasta + minimal ingredient baked, juicy Lucy chicken and dinner time done!

 

Now, let’s talk about grand opening day deals.

Here’s what you need to know:

Doors open at 7:00 am on June 26th. That’s NEXT Wednesday.

The first 200 shoppers in line will receive 20% off their initial total purchase.

Delicious muffin and coffee samples will be served to everyone in line before the doors open.

Upon checkout, every 15th shopper will receive a coupon book featuring Sprouts savings.

Every customer will receive one free reusable bag with purchase.

Now, the 26th is on a Wednesday so perhaps you can’t be in line for 7:00 am on a workday. I hear ya. So here’s the weekend deals:

Saturday, June 29th: The first 200 customers to make a purchase will receive a coupon booklet for five FREE deli items.

Sunday, June 20th: Upon checkout, every 15th customer will receive a coupon for $5 off a purchase of more than $15 to use on their next visit.

Can’t make it ALL that weekend?

Then you’re going to want to take advantage of the Sprouts app. You simply create an account where you can easily plan ahead and save. You just download your barcode in the app during checkout to enjoy instant savings. *Note, Baton Rouge is not quite yet set up in the app. I know because I’ve already downloaded it!

And lastly, you’re going to want to start planning your shopping trips on Double Ad Wednesday. Because the weekly ad prices run from Wednesday to Wednesday, you can save even more in the middle of the week when the ads overlap. Two ads on one day mean DOUBLE THE DEALS!

I’m so excited for next week, y’all. Nothing beats a brand spanking new store and I’m so excited to get my shopping on!

Today’s post was sponsored by Sprouts Farmers Market but I’d still be excited to welcome them even if it wasn’t! You can visit their website here.

I'm not even going to complain about how cold it h I'm not even going to complain about how cold it has been in Louisiana when friends are having it so bad in Texas, but y'all... I had to pull out and dust off my Alaskan cruise clothes when we lost power earlier in the week. πŸ₯Ά We just aren't equipped down here. I've had ALL THE SOUPS on rotation including this Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle that has been on the blog forever, but got some new photos. Because if you're gonna be iced in, might as well photograph & update your recipes! I hope you are staying WARM where you are. πŸ₯£ πŸ” πŸ₯£

Slooooowly getting into the groove of 2021. Since Slooooowly getting into the groove of 2021. Since it's been so long since I've been able to enjoy a good ole’ Olive Garden soup, salad & breadsticks combo, I took matters into my own hands and recreated the experience at home complete with Pasta e Fagioli. πŸ₯£ Side note: Did y'all know they sell their OG salad dressing at the grocery?! 😳 Since I'm also attempting to do better with meal prepping and make ahead meals this new year, I'm freezing half for the next time I have a craving I can't control...or the temps in Louisiana drop without warning. WINNING. πŸ™ŒπŸ₯£
