Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are definitely one of the most popular pieces of meat used these days for easy dinner recipes. I also love these recipes, but sometimes they leave much to be desired. Boneless, skinless chicken, if not prepared the right way, can be dry, bland and flavorless. This Sun Dried Tomato & Basil Pesto Chicken Melt is none of those things. This dish uses my homemade Sun Dried Tomato Basil Pesto and fresh mozzarella to create a recipe that is super easy to make and loaded with amazing flavor. Give it a try today!

Don’t get me wrong, I love a traditional pesto, but this one is just different enough to keep things exciting. Making this pesto takes just a few minutes, and it is delicious when served with so many different things. I like to perk up a basic piece of chicken with this pesto, toss it with some fresh pasta and even slather it on a piece of toast with some avocado and mozzarella. No matter what you do with it, you will be glad you have this pesto on hand!

Pasta is by and far my favorite comfort food, but it is (usually) a guilty pleasure. Many pasta sauces are loaded with way too many carbs, calories, unnecessary sugar and preservatives.

This sauce takes only a few minutes of active cooking time, and just 30 minutes to allow all of the flavors to simmer together. After that, you have a delicious homemade tomato sauce that is considerably better for you and better tasting than anything you will find in the grocery store.
