Chicken Pasta Pesto
This is a go-to recipe for hosting a luncheon or making a quick dinner on a steamy summer night. Nice for picnics, as long as it's kept cool. Grill the chicken breasts for a deeper flavor and the pesto may be homemade or jarred. Homemade is super easy and the flavor of fresh basil is unbeatable! This tastes even better the next day.
