Can’t get enough of pesto with your chicken? This chicken pesto pasta should be next on your list! Making a stuffed chicken breast wrapped in bacon might seem a little intimidating, but this recipe is surprisingly simple to achieve.
Chicken breasts: Breasts work best for butterflying to add the yummy stuffing. Pesto: Gives a delicious herbal burst to the dish. You can use regular pesto, or Pesto Rosso, a pesto made with sun dried tomatoes. Feta cheese: Crumble feta for a creamy but salty note. Kalamata olives: Chopped, for a briny and savory addition. Bacon : Will be wrapped around the chicken to infuse it with a smoky flavor and crispy texture, while keeping the chicken juicy. Avoid thick cut bacon. Butter: To toast the pine nuts. Pine nuts: Adds a nutty, crunchy texture. Black pepper: To balance the flavors.
A light pasta is a great side, try this Greek pasta salad or Italian pasta salad, or float your bacon-wrapped chicken next to a bed of lemon butter orzo. Add some freshness with a crispy salad, like this asparagus salad with balsamic glaze, roasted root vegetables, or a kale salad. Veggies that go well include potatoes, onions, mushrooms, spinach, or broccoli. A citrusy dessert is a delicious , light, and tangy way to finish the meal: try this easy lemon meringue pie, orange blossom panna cotta, or lime coconut ice cream.
