Crockpot Pesto Chicken

September 21, 2017

/ dinnerfooduncategorizedyum

Yesterday at the grocery store I saw an old man face timing his wife to show her produce. I’ve never seen a more accurate glimpse into mine and RJ’s future! 🤣 I am definitely the type of wife who doesn’t trust RJ to pick out the right produce and RJ is definitely the sweet type of husband that would face time his wife to pick out the perfect produce.

Tomorrow is officially the first day of Fall and if there’s one thing I love about Fall it’s the food. Flavorful, rich, comfort food. Especially crockpot meals, the smell fills the whole house, the slow cooking soaks all the flavors together and it makes your meat so tender. Not to mention most crock pot meals are dump everything in and go, so it’s a total win for everyone!

I’m a huge pesto gal, I’ve even experimented on making my own (check out my walnut arugula pesto here!). Once I convinced Hubs to try it and he realized he loved it too, it became a staple in our house! Recently I’ve paired it up with chicken and butternut squash ‘noodles’ for the easiest, most delicious dinner!

I love this dinner because I usually have all the ingredients in our pantry + it’s light and healthy but still packs so much flavor.

Crockpot Pesto Chicken
Serves 2
Easy
Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 3-8 hours

Ingredients: 
2 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (raw, thawed or frozen)
1/2 Cup of Pesto
1/2 Cup of Chicken Broth
1/4 Cup of Feta
Juice from 1 Lemon
Salt & Pepper to Taste

Directions:
1. Place chicken breasts in crockpot
2. Season with salt and pepper
3. Pour chicken broth and lemon juice into a crockpot
4. Spread pesto out on chicken, it’s ok if some gets in the sauce
5. Top with feta
6. Cook on high for 3- 3 1/2 hours or low for 8 hours

Enjoy!

We love to eat ours with butternut squash noodles (I buy mine at Whole Foods or Fresh Market) or cauliflower rice. Whichever I choose, I place the chicken on top and spoon extra sauce from the crockpot over the noodles or rice, it’s so good!

Let’s Be BFFs

Believes anything and everything can be conquered with a ‘can do, will do’ attitude. Always looking at the glass half full, even if it is a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Life’s better when it’s well lived –so say yes & have fun!

Excuse me while I move into @zennailspachatt 🤩🤩 I wanted a fun manicure but my nails were looking ROUGH. We decided on a nice clean up with two accent nails while they grow a little bit and strengthen up. 👏🏻 I LOVE IT. the smileys are so happy and bring me joy each time I look at my nails. I’ve had quite the nail saga in Chatt (#iykyk 😏) so finding a spot that is worth the money and enjoyable + great results, makes me SO happy. If you haven’t tried Zen yet, I highly recommend checking them out. #ChattanoogaFun #Noogagram #NailsOfInsta ps. Sweater is major free people vibes but under $20! I’ll link in my stories.

It’s going tooooo fast 😭 somehow we have a se It’s going tooooo fast 😭 somehow we have a seven month old baby and it doesn’t even seem possible. ⁣

Soaking up everyday is easy with this sweet boy. He’s pretty much all smiles as long as the attention is all on him. He really loves eating, babies and Doodle. He’s scooting and already trying to get into everything. Lucky for us, so far he pretty much just goes in circles. His first tooth popped through and he has a little bit of very blonde hair. ⁣

Excited to see what Fosty’s first spring brings. 🌼 #7MonthsOld #FosterSitton
