Chicken Pesto with Peppers
I usually use green chili peppers with mild to medium spice but this dish also works well with spicier green peppers.I use fresh pesto which varies in flavor based on the leafy greens I have on hand. I have tried basil and carrot top pesto and parsley and radish leaf pesto with this dish and both work well.
