Pesto Chicken - this yummy filled chicken is so good! www.thirtyhandmadedays.com

If you’re looking for a good dinner recipe to try out, this is the one! Pesto Chicken wrapped into little bundles — mmmmm mmmm delicious! Pesto Chicken - this yummy filled chicken is so good! www.thirtyhandmadedays.com

I’ve made this chicken recipe for years! I found it a long time ago and made it for a big event for the women at church.  It was a hit.  People asked for the recipe.  Every time I make it I wonder why I don’t make it more often.

You can either make pockets in the chicken or pound them to make them flat and then roll them up.  It’s kind of a preference thing.  I like them pounded but it takes a little more work than cutting a slit.

I think I love this one so much because I’m obsessed with basil and pesto.  The flavors are just so good.  Plus you can’t really go wrong with butter either, right?

(Like Mickey!) I started 30days several years ago as my idea file. After 9 years and thousands of ideas, I realize I’ll never be able to check them all off my list.
