PESTO CHICKEN & POTATOES
This was wonderful. It used up the leftover pesto I had, and the partial bags of frozen spinach and tri-colored bell peppers, and the mushrooms that would have gone bad. I love dinners that use up what I already have. It is easy to prepare, you just have to give it time to cook, which can be agonizing when you are home from a long day of work and are starving. But I think it was worth it.

PESTO CHICKEN
A simple way to prepare chicken that looks like you spent a lot of time preparing. It can also be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until baked. Be sure to use a good quality pesto for best results. I like to serve it with pasta, but it is also nice sliced and served on a green salad.
