Pesto Chicken

I love easy chicken recipes that are rich in flavor! Pesto Chicken is always a big hit in my home. My hubby is great about heating up the grill and cooking the chicken until it’s perfectly tender. When making Pesto Chicken, he brings it into me cooked, ready for the special toppings, pesto and mozzarella – a perfect combination, right!
Family Favorite Pesto Chicken uses four ingredients and the results are fabulous!
Baseball season is about to start up again…Pesto Chicken is a tried and true recipe and a regular here each Spring!

I’m making this tonight, butit might be on the grill pan rather than the grill. I think the wind will be blowing with another cold front approaching. Will it ever be Spring?

Yummy! This looks great! I am always looking for different things to do with chicken. I can’t wait to try this recipe-I think my family will love it!
Yum this looks good. I found you from Met Monday. I’m over here in Umbria Italy so I’m going to try this with fresh Mozzerella since that’s what I can get. I wonder if it will be too liquid and runny.
I’m not a great cook, but I’ll be back love how you make it seem simple.
cheers.
