To make the pesto, he blitzed together the basil, parmesan cheese, pine nuts, garlic, salt and olive oil until finely chopped.
In a pot over low heat, Morgan added the diced chicken breast and stock, allowing the ingredients to cook for about five minutes.
Meanwhile, he cooked the penne pasta in a pot of salted boiling water for two minutes less than the packet’s instructions.
In a pan, he added the pasta along with the pesto, thickened cream, sun-dried tomatoes, avocados, parsley, basil and a handful of baby spinach.
To serve, Morgan added cracked black pepper and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

His video has since been viewed more than 600,000 times, with hundreds of foodies saying they couldn’t wait to give his recipe a go.
‘If I could, I’d eat this for the rest of my life,’ one woman wrote.
Another said: ‘That’s definitely one to try,’ while one added: ‘Yes! Absolutely delicious! Pesto chicken is a favourite in our house.’
Those who made the dish said they couldn’t get enough of it, with one home cook saying: ‘It was so yummy’.
Many suggested roasting the pine nuts first before blending it into pesto.
‘Next time, roast the pine nuts. The more flavour you get out of it. It’s a tip but still love what you’re doing,’ one fan wrote, while another added: ‘You should toast your pine nuts until fragrant first.’
