Presto Pesto Chicken

I love pesto, but unfortunately, it’s typically made with a shocking amount of oil and is thus very fattening.

Please note that if you buy frozen herbs, you should measure them out yourself before using them in recipes. I’ve found that a 1-teaspoon block of herbs is rarely an actual teaspoon.
