This is one of my family's favorite meals! However, we use the red pesto as we like that one better. Easy and very tasty meal! -
Loved this! The flavor was so good. I have made these twice so far. The first time I used a packet of dry pesto and mixed it up as directed on the packet. Last weekend I used the jarred pesto. They were both great. This is so easy to throw together - this will definately be in my rotation this summer for grilling out!! -
My family loves this recipe! We use any kind of tomatoes handy, and a mixture of zucchini and yellow squash. I like to marinate my chicken overnight in the pesto ( I use Classico brand 1/2 cup for 2 large breasts.) I serve the chicken and veggies over angel hair pasta. I packet + pasta is enough for me and my 10 yr. old daughter to share. Bold flavor! So easy to make and virtually no dishes! This recipe rocks!
