This dinner just kind of came up. I didn’t really plan it in advance. I was thinking I’d put the pesto, feta, and tomatoes on top of the chicken breasts, but once I saw how ugly the pesto was, I decided stuffing the chicken would be better. It turned out moist and bursting with yummy, salty flavors. I will most definitely be making this again!

Great use of your pesto and so creative!
Mmm this sounds SO good. I'm kind of obsessed with kalamata olives.
You are so good as recreating recipes. This looks wonderful. Nothing goes to waste in your kitchen!
