Pesto Chicken

Recipe From: Delilah


Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1/2 cup shaved parmesan cheese
• 2 TBSP olive oil
• 1 TBSP almond flour OR 1 TBSP pine nuts (almond flour found in the HyVee Health Market, sometimes separated into a gluten-free section)
• lots of salt ("lots" is an estimate ;) - just use your best judgement!)
• 4 cloves of garlic, pressed
• 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Take all ingredients (minus chicken, obvs) and blend in a food processor (Ninja!!!) until smooth.
• Cut a slit long-ways into the chicken, butterfly style. 
• Spread the pesto inside the chicken breasts. (Feel free to spread pesto on top as well)
• Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
• Bake roughly 30-40 minutes, checking temperature for certainty (165 degrees per FoodSafety.gov)

Enjoy!
