Pasta-free Chicken Pesto

Who doesn't love pesto? All that basil and garlic taste incredible, and it can be served on lots of yummy meat and veggies, not just pasta!

So, I decided to make this yummy pesto and saute it with chicken, green beans, and mushrooms. Since the olive oil is already in the mix, there's no need to use any additional cooking oil.

Just put a big handful of fresh basil, small gandful of pine nuts, and as much garlic as you please into a food processor or blender with enough olive oil to cover most of the bulk and pulse until well blended. Throw it in a skillet with chopped chicken and veggies on medium high heat and stir fry until the meat is cooked an tender, about 15-20 minutes.

 

If you prefer a spaghetti-like texture but, you can always use zucchini, squash, or carrots and use a spiralizer! I don't have one just yet, but I will definitely post about it when I do!
