Pesto:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic
1 cup firmly packed fresh cilantro
1/4 cup reduced sodium chicken broth

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (approx. 3 breasts)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups sliced asparagus (approx. 1/2 pound)
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
8 cups cooked pasta (approx. 4 cups uncooked)

Place all pesto ingredients except broth into a blender or food processor. Cover and pulse blend. Add just enough broth if needed to make a paste.

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breast, onion and mushrooms. Cook about 8 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.

Cook pasta according to package directions. Add sliced asparagus during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain pasta and add to chicken mixture. Add pesto and toss to coat.
