on Jul 27, 2015, Updated Nov 11, 2021 3 Comments I am completely blown away at how quickly this summer has flown by. It just seems like a month ago that we were observing Memorial Day and making plans for all the things we wanted to do over our summer. One thing we’ve definitely been enjoying this summer is this pesto chicken salad! It has been a staple at my house for quick lunches and super easy suppers! In fact, we love to eat it cold just as well as we enjoy it hot making it a great make-ahead dish for storing in the refrigerator for lunches on the go or even those busy weeknights! To make it, I roast chicken breasts in the oven while I’m making fresh pesto. The pesto adds so much flavor and is essential in this easy chicken salad recipe. Of course, you could make your pesto ahead of time or even use prepared pesto if you prefer. Once the chicken has roasted, I cut it into bite-sized pieces and then slice grape or cherry tomatoes in half and toss into the bowl along with the chicken. Then, I stir my pesto in with the chicken and tomatoes and voila, your pesto chicken salad is ready for serving! Now, how simple is that?! Here’s the full recipe for my pesto chicken salad. I think you will love it, too! Enjoy!Robyn xo
