Editors Review

Pesto chicken has always been a simple dish to prepare, but the healthy version that the chef shows here is definitely a refreshing change! It is a very low fat, low cal and low carb version of pesto sauce that she uses here. Definitely worth a watch.

I use pesto for pasta, as a spread on sandwich or even pizza but haven't tried baking it with chicken. Sounds good though!!
