    A few weeks ago, I was browsing through Pinterest when I came across this dish from Six Sisters Stuff. Since I love pesto, chicken, and easy dinner ideas, I knew I had to try this! I already had most of the ingredients on hand from a previous recipe, so it worked out perfectly! My family loved this, and both my hubby and oldest son, took this for lunch the next day. You know the dish has to be yummy when your eight year old son asks for it in his school lunch, right?

    Enjoy!!
