SkinnyMediterranean: Creamy Pesto Chicken

Warning: you’ll want to drink the sauce straight from the bowl. You can’t go wrong with chicken and pesto. This creamy version is packed with flavour from fresh basil, spinach, and semi dried tomatoes. We leave the oil out of this pesto to try and keep the calories down, but I like to have a pesto stash in the freezer for even easier dinners.
