Pesto Chicken Skillet

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 cups ripe cherry tomatoes
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb crisp asparagus ends trimmed
  • 1/2 cup homemade pesto recipe above
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • fresh basil leaves to garnish

Instructions

  • Season your chicken with sea salt and pepper to taste. Add pesto sauce and stir to coat. Let your chicken pieces marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  • Add oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the asparagus and season lightly with sea salt and pepper, cook turning on all sides, for about 5 minutes until crisp-tender. Set asparagus aside on a plate. Add in the tomatoes and cook until they just start to burst, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
  • Add in your pesto marinated chicken and cook stirring frequently until golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  • Return asparagus and tomatoes back into your skillet to heat them up.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!
