Baked Pesto Chicken





















Sarah went out to eat with the Hillmans and had a chicken/pecan/pesto dish that she really liked...so I had to make one up to try it.

Ingredients:

3 chicken breasts
salt and pepper
maybe a cup of homemade or purchased pesto (I have made delicious homemade pesto without dairy, great pesto with sheep cheese, and passable without nuts or dairy...experiment)
3/4 cup of pecans
Some crumbled bacon...however much you have and like
mozzarella and romano to top (if desired)

Directions:

Cut up the meat to the desired size.  Coat in pesto and place in a baking dish.  Top with cheese (if using), pecans and bacon and cover with foil.  Bake at 400* for 20 minutes.  Uncover and let the cheese brown and bubble a little bit.  Serve over pasta, rice, or squash, or plain.
Ready to go in the oven (no cheese on this one)


Served with spaghetti squash
Served with brown rice
