This recipe is a healthy version of a yummy comfort food. Pesto is delicious on its own, used as a dip, and made with pasta and chicken for dinner. In my house, it's hard to find something all six kids will like, but this is a crowd-pleaser that everyone will eat. When you mix pesto with the pasta and chicken, it will be delicious, and you're eating all of the recommended food groups in one meal!
