1. 1Boil pasta in salted water according to directions on the package.
2. 2In a large skillet heat olive oil on medium heat.
3. 3Cut chicken into small pieces, season with salt and pepper and cook in olive oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until the outside appears cooked.
4. 4Add mushrooms and cook for another 4-5 minutes, so they release water.
5. 5Add pesto sauce and stir until evenly distributed. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes on medium.
6. 6Add heavy cream, stir and then add blue cheese. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently. The sauce should thicken and get creamy.
