Baked Pesto Chicken

Baked Pesto Chicken

Ingredients:
2 Cups basil
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp soy milk
2 Tbsp pine nuts
2-3 cloves garlic
2-3 Tbsp parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp salt, or to taste
Chicken breasts, seasoned with salt and pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Combine all ingredients except chicken in a food processor and blend until smooth. Spray baking pan with cooking spray, then add chicken. Spread pesto over the chicken until the top is covered. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the juices run clear.

My notes:
This is delicious!! The pesto is a lower calorie version that I found online somewhere, but if you don't have (or like) soy milk, you can substitute an equal amount of vegetable stock or just double the olive oil. Or, if you prefer to, just buy some pesto at the store and use that. I prefer the homemade stuff though. :) Very nice and easy to prepare and it makes some good sandwiches/wraps for lunch the next day.
