Try this Cheesy Pesto Chicken

We are all about trying new recipes. Since I am not at work because of the Coronavirus Quarantine, it’s easier to get back into researching & trying new things. Here is one that I knew my whole family would absolutely love.

I made a couple of the chicken breasts without tomatoes, because I do have some picky eaters. This recipes is easy to tailor to your family.

I found this recipe through Pinterest from Melanie Cooks. I adjusted the portion size to my family.
