1

Pesto-Stuffed Chicken

Take boneless, skinless chicken breasts and make a horizontal slit in each to create a pocket. Fill the pockets with a generous amount of pesto, then secure them with toothpicks. Pan-fry the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked. The pesto will infuse the chicken with incredible flavor and moisture. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables and enjoy!

Pesto Pizza

Start with a pre-made pizza crust or make your own if you're feeling adventurous. Spread a thin layer of pesto on the crust as the base sauce. Top with your favorite cheese, such as mozzarella or goat cheese, and add toppings like cherry tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and fresh basil leaves. Bake in a hot oven until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Get ready for a pesto party in your mouth!

Serve chilled and prepare yourself for a flavor explosion!
