That night, I served them over pasta. They taste so good with it, just like the pesto pasta you usually order at restaurants. The chicken really goes so well with pesto- the tag team of these two is truly amazing! The pesto just enhances the taste of the chicken while at the same time giving it that fresh taste. I could see how my family was satisfied with the dish. Yes, even my twins, because they seemed to get their pesto-loving trait from their Mom!

“This Easy Pesto Chicken is packed with flavor, and is one of the quickest meals you will ever prepare! This meal is so hyper simple it’s almost not a recipe. And I am sure in some circles it ISN’T considered a recipe. But that’s fine…you call it what you want, I’ll just call it delicious.”
It’s definitely delicious and one of my favorite recipes. The best thing about this is it’s so easy to make. You just have to layer down the ingredients, which will not take long!
