Baked Pesto Chicken with Angel Hair Pasta and bread! 

   This is my first post in a while so let me start by saying that this year I have made a New Years resolution. Every Friday I am cooking a home cooked meal with fresh ingredients. This year I have already made tuna casserole and the above amazing dish. Also I will be doing reviews of the recipes I try so that you can get an idea of what the food is like.
 
      On a normal week day for my fiancee and I eat take out pizza or frozen foods. Which all taste great. However you can only order the same meal so many times before it becomes boring. After two weeks now when I find myself in the frozen food section I find myself thinking where is the variety?

     Well here it is! Not only is this dish absolutely amazing but it was cheaper then eating out. I ventured far from the frozen foods and actually discovered I enjoy fresh healthier foods. For the picky eaters out there guess what? My fiancee and I are extremely picky. We both our set in our ways and run in terror at the sight of vegetables. However the chicken was the perfect combination and we never knew tomatoes could taste so good.

   After some research I found this website with 8 weeks worth of easy dinner recipes. While it will take me longer to post since I am only doing this once a week I am willing to try everything on this list.

   The chicken recipe above cost me around 25$ at loblaws which included buying some fruits (bananas and blueberries). As seen below this is all I needed to make this meal for three people plus I have left over pasta, cheese, a tomato and basil.

   The recipe was really straight forward and easy. Not to mention I served my fiancee and his friend first and by the time I had my plate set up my picky fiancee had his completely cleared. The tomato really works well with the basil pesto and cheese. My fiancee isn't a fan of white meat chicken so I substituted it for boneless chicken thighs.

    Baked Pesto Chicken Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ cup basil pesto
2 plum tomatoes
shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cover cookie sheet with foil.
2. Put pesto and chicken in bowl. Toss until chicken is covered.
3. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
4. Place slices of tomato on top of chicken and sprinkle with cheese.
5. Bake another 3-5 minutes.
6. Serve with a box of angel hair pasta and herbs and French bread.

  Note another name for angel hair pasta is capellini. You don't need to add herbs as the basil pesto acts as a sort of sauce with the pasta.

  Have a recipe you want to share? Let me know and I will try it out!
