Pesto Pasta

My sister-in-law, Carrie, made this for us a while back and I loved it.  Anything made with pesto is sure to win me over.  It was good when we first ate it warm and then it was good again out of the fridge the next day.  Win-win.
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
Zucchini, diced (as much as you like)
16 oz. pasta, cooked
2 chicken breasts, grilled and cut up
Pesto

*Season the chicken with a little paprika, salt and pepper and then grill.  Cut into small cubes and set aside.  Saute the peppers for a minute or two in a little oil and then add the onion.  Saute until the onion starts to brown.  Add the zucchini and season with a little garlic powder and salt.  When the zucchini is done, add it to the cooked pasta and then add the chicken.  Pour on some pesto (as much as you like) and stir until it's all combined.

*Costco has some great pesto in a jar.  If you want to make it, here is a recipe
