PESTO CHICKEN & POTATOES



Pesto Chicken & Potatoes image

This was wonderful. It used up the leftover pesto I had, and the partial bags of frozen spinach and tri-colored bell peppers, and the mushrooms that would have gone bad. I love dinners that use up what I already have. It is easy to prepare, you just have to give it time to cook, which can be agonizing when you are home from a long day of work and are starving. But I think it was worth it.

1 teaspoon pepper

Tips:

  • Well-seasoned chicken: Before cooking the chicken, season it generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken and make the patties more flavorful overall.
  • Use fresh pesto: Fresh pesto is always best for this recipe. If you don't have access to fresh pesto, you can use a good quality store-bought pesto. However, fresh pesto will give the patties a more vibrant flavor.

  • Serve with your favorite sides: These pesto chicken and potato patties are delicious served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:
