I had to use that pesto sauce on something. Something quick and easy as far as cooking time is concerned… and for some reason luxurious. Could be the green sauce… could be the shrimp.

Since I made plenty of basil pesto, I tried cooking chicken with it.When you are using a non-stick frying pan, please pan-fry the chicken without oil since a lot of fat comes out from it.Basil pesto contains olive oil, so I think it's better to use the least amount of oil as possible.

Still got lots of sweet basil growing in the garden, so I'm making a batch of this Basil Walnut Pesto for all kinds of applications. Goes without saying on pasta, but it's also delicious whipped into butter and cream cheese, mixed with hummus or mayo, as a pizza spread, and also as a base for delicious salad dressing.You can use other nuts (pine nuts, obviously), but almonds, cashews, and pecans are also delicious.

Creamy pesto chicken Creamy pesto chicken
Wow, it's good to be back! We moved a little over a week ago, and since then we've been surviving mainly on fast-food, takeout, and instant meals. Nothing sucks the soul out of an avid cook faster than a boil-in-the-bag dinner, I tell ya. Anyway, tonight I finally had a chance to give the new kitchen a real test, and even though it felt a little weird, it didn't disappoint. Even my increasingly picky daughter praised the meal and went for seconds. I guess that means we're staying.
