Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, add the basil, Parmesan, pine nuts, half of the garlic, salt and black pepper and pulse to combine. With the food processor running, drizzle in the 1/3 cup olive oil until the sauce comes together and is smooth. Set aside.
- Slice the chicken breast in half horizontally so you have 8 thinner cutlets. Sprinkle both sides of each cutlet with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon each butter and olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the cutlets and cook through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil along with the red onion and remaining sliced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rainbow chard and cook, stirring, until lightly wilted, about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and stir for an additional 30 seconds. Remove to a plate.
- Without cleaning the skillet, add the cream and heat for 1 minute. Stir in about a third of a cup of the pesto and return the chicken to the pan. Bring to a simmer and allow to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. (Refrigerate the remaining pesto in an air tight container for up to 5 days.)
- Make a bed of rainbow chard on a large platter. Top with the chicken cutlets and drizzle the sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the tomatoes and serve.

All the flavors of Italian pesto (fresh basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, and garlic) in a simple creamy sauce. Also works well with thinly sliced pork tenderloin. Add a splash of milk or cream for a slightly thinner sauce. Serve over rice or pasta with extra Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top.

5-INGREDIENT CHICKEN PESTO SOUP
Although this soup is made with just five ingredients, the cooking technique packs the soup with flavor. You start by poaching bone-in chicken thighs in chicken broth, which amps up the flavor of the broth and leaves you with meat so tender, it practically falls off the bone. A swirl of pesto at the end delivers a cheesy, herby hit and turns the soup a vibrant green.

Steps:
- Put the chicken in a large pot and cover with the broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken from the pot to a cutting board. Skim the surface of the broth with a slotted spoon to remove any skin that's floated to the surface. Remove the meat from the chicken bones and shred with two forks; discard the skin. Add the meat back to the pot along with the spinach.
- Turn the heat to medium until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Swirl the pesto into the soup and season with salt.

Steps:
- Cook your chicken if not already done. (I usually will sauté or poach a couple of large boneless, skinless chicken breasts.) Remove from pan and set aside. (Or you can use a purchased rotisserie chicken.).
- Cook tortellini according to package directions. While pasta is cooking:.
- Sauté sliced shallots over medium high heat until they start to brown, about 2-3 minutes. I just saute them with PAM cooking spray, but you can use whatever medium you prefer (oil, butter or even a little chicken broth). Add capers. Reduce heat to medium.
- Return chicken to pan and continue cooking.
- Add whipping cream and Dijon mustard; bring to a simmer and cook until it is slightly reduced; about 5 minutes. Add pesto sauce and mix well. Add lemon zest and juice. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer uncovered about 5-7 minutes more.
- Combine the chicken sauce with the tortellini. Gently toss to mix well. Add the freshly shredded parmesan cheese.
- Serve with a tossed green salad and crusty bread.

Steps:

- Brush a little oil, about 1 tsp, all over each chicken breast and season well. Tip the breadcrumbs onto a large plate and season. Place each breast on the plate and press all over with the breadcrumbs. Place in a lightly oiled shallow baking dish along with the tomatoes (kept together on the vine in a couple of bunches). Drizzle over the remaining oil.
- Cook in the oven for 20-25 mins until the chicken starts to turn golden and is cooked through. Scatter over the pine nuts and cook for 2 mins more. Sprinkle with basil leaves and serve with new potatoes or crusty bread.

CREAMY PESTO CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI
This came to me one night when I was craving gnocchi. I let it bounce around in my head for a couple of weeks before I made it. My husband swears it was definitely worth the wait. The sauce is creamy and smooth, coating the chicken and gnocchi with a wonderful pesto flavor without the oiliness of straight pesto. Try it with garlic bread or multi-grain bread and butter.

Steps:
- Put a pot on the stove with the chicken broth in it and heat to boiling.
- Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, saute the onion in the oil on medium heat until soft. Add the minced garlic and saute for a minute more until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and saute until lightly brown and most of their liquid is evaporated; push to the side of the pan. Add the chicken and saute, stirring often, until just cooked through. Add the soup, the pesto, and the seasonings to the pan and stir to combine everything thoroughly. Reduce heat and simmer gently until the gnocchi are ready.
- When the broth reaches a boil, carefully add the gnocchi and stir to separate. Add extra water if needed to give the gnocchi plenty of liquid. Cook until the gnocchi are done and float to the surface. Using a spider strainer, transfer the gnocchi to the saute pan. Stir gently to coat the gnocchi. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the cooking broth and stir to combine. Serve in pasta bowls with grated parmesan and bread.
