Simple Chicken Pesto Pasta!


Hi Reader,

Basil season is the best, right?! We basically live on pesto this time of year, and this Simple Chicken Pesto Pasta is one of our go-to's when we have lots of basil on hand. It's one of my husband's top requests, so I'm glad to get a recipe up on my website for it!

I also posted a recipe for a Mediterranean Sardine Salad - If you love packing in omega-3's and you enjoy sardines, then you definitely need to give this recipe a try. Think of a tuna salad but leveled up with yogurt instead of mayonnaise and packed with extra veggies and flavor!
