Pesto Chicken Recipes

This easy weeknight dinner may look time-intensive, but it only takes 25 minutes to make (using just four ingredients)!

Yummy!

a quick and easy recipe. Omit the margarine on the noodles to save on fat and calories

I serve this with 1/2 cup of rice or pasta with basil pesto .
Makes 4 servings of 1 breast each.

Buying a jar of pre-made pesto makes preparation quick and easy for this five-ingredient main dish. Use zucchini or yellow summer squash for a healthy, seasonal element, making this the ideal summer recipe. Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, simply top with pesto and sprinkle with Parmesan or Asiago cheese.

Similar to stuffed tomatoes without the torture of digging the inner tomato out

A great make ahead dinner full of vegetables, a little cheese and plenty of protein. Freezes well.

Not truly home made...but yummy!!! Calorie info may not be quite that high per serving as you generally have sauce left over in the dish.

Here's a sandwich I made up, inspired by a pretty decent sandwich I ate at the airport, oddly enough. I recommend getting a flavorful pesto, the kind I bought was a bit bland. The tzatziki sauce pulled it through. Also, the flavors meld together quite well when chicken mixture is made overnight or two.

Yummy baked chicken with almond based pesto sauce

Very delicious recipe that my wife and I found, not sure where originally but I'll pass it along.

This is a nice healthy pesto dish without all of the added oil. I only added 1 tsp of Olive Oil and used Greek yogurt to make the sauce. this is so simple and yet so tasty. Allot of flavor in this dish. You can have it warm or cold. Were having it as a cold pasta for tomorrow nights dinner. I thought all the flavors would really incorporate over the evening.

A tasty chicken/pesto/tomato/pasta/spinach concoction that my boyfriend refuses to eat because he insists on only eating meals that come from actual recipes. His loss!

Toss with chicken and pasta, or use as a sandwich spread

Stuffed Chicken Breast without any breading/flour coating

I know it sounds crazy, but it's delicious!!

A very filling, tasty sandwich with Italian influences

Only 4 ingredients (plus S&P) and packed with flavor! Best if you can make your own pesto (some basil leaves, EVOO, parmesan cheese and your favorite nut ie. almonds, walnuts, pine nuts!)

Healthier take on an Italian classic

A quick and easy lunch. Most of the fat comes from the olive oil from the mayo and pesto. Filling, guaranteed to keep you without snacks until dinner!

lighter version of a Pampered Chef recipe

The nutritional information is based on one WHOLE serving. This is for 4 whole servings, but when ever I make this I always eat 1/2 of one serving because 1 is just too much for me.
