Creamy Chicken With Pesto

Southern Food

• 4 to 6 Chicken breast halves
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons flour
• could add chopped onion
• 2-3 garlic cloves
• 4 ounces mushrooms, I chopped them up small so my kids couldn't tell

Dredge chicken in the mixture above.  Saute the chicken, onions, garlic, and mushrooms till browned. Then put the chicken only in a baking dish, set oven 350.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoons prepared pesto
• In the sauted oil pan- I added the mushrooms concoction then added the pesto and then mixed in a small bowl 1/4c-1/2c cold water with 1/4c whole wheat flour to make a creamy sauce instead of using cream. 

Mix the sauce and reserve a 1/2c for after the chicken is cooked to serve with.  Add the rest of the sauce to the baking dish with the chicken and bake for 30-45min.

Serve with salad and rice or pasta.

I do like to have the top of the chicken a little browned by broiling it in the oven for about 10min.

Goes well with Zucchini and squash
