Pesto Chicken Packets

PESTO CHICKEN PACKETS

A few of your asked for this recipe when I posted it last week on my meal plan. Never fear, I'm sharing it now! This is one of the many meals I've been making because I don't want to turn my oven on. I don't think I've turned it on for about a week now! it really makes a difference in the 100deg heat here.

It's completely simple to make:

• chicken breasts (I used two)
• diced up veggies--the zucchini were great
• pesto (not usually dairy free, unless you make it yourself and leave the Parmesan cheese out)
  

Grease your tinfoil. Either use 1 sheet heavy duty, or 2 of regular.

Place your veggies, chicken, and a few tablespoons of pesto all over everything.

Seal it up good!

Grill for about 10 minutes on each side on medium heat.

And voila! You have a wonderful pesto dish ready to go. (and I think because there are veggies in there, you have a side dish built in)

You could eat it out of the foil (I don't really recommend that with metal utensils) or dish it up on a plate and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

PESTO CHICKEN PACKETS

• a chicken breast per person
• diced veggies
• pesto

Dice up the chicken into bite size pieces. On a piece of heavy duty foil (or 2 sheets regular foil) drizzle some olive oil. Place the veggies, then chicken and a couple tablespoons of pesto over everything. Seal up the packet good, and grill for about 10 minutes per side over medium heat. These can also be frozen before cooking. Just make sure to label them good.
