The best chicken pesto salad
Chicken recipes are always the best. I think it’s because they’re so versatile, but maybe it’s because they allow you to go in so many different flavor directions!
One of my favorite ways to enjoy it is in chicken salad with pesto. It’s loaded with flavor, uses 10 ingredients (including salt and pepper), and is ready in hardly any time at all!
Chicken salad makes a fabulous dish for feeding a crowd, as it’s the perfect appetizer-style bite but can also be made into a heavier meal by enjoying on wraps or bread.
