13 Jan One Skillet Chicken Pesto {Gluten Free}
If you’re looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner meal that is affordable, our one skillet chicken pesto dinner is the perfect weeknight meal when you’re running around with school, sports, work, you name it! Especially if you take a couple of shortcuts + get some of these ingredients pre-made at the stores!
You can either use a whole chicken that you’ve cooked in the crockpot on the side or you can pick up a whole rotisserie chicken at the store! I usually get the one without any flavor to minimize the yucky ingredients. It should say chicken, salt, water – basically.
I also bought Whole Foods pre-made pesto! It’s prepared by Severino Pasta Company! This brand I found in the frozen section actually at a local Whole Foods 365 store. I freakin’ LOVE this one because they use sheep milk/goat milk cheese in it (which is more easily digestable!). If you can’t find it, you can opt for a pesto on the shelf (there may be some ingredients that are still blah) or you can make it homemade!
