Grilled Pesto Chicken Breast
A quick low calorie meal.
Ingredients
Directions
- Heat a grill pan on medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill pan. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
- Combine the spinach, lemon juice, and lemon peel in a processor. Lightly pulse. With the machine running, gradually add remainder of the olive oil, blending until the mixture is creamy. Add salt and pulse.
- Transfer the pesto mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in the parmesan cheese. Season the pesto with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spread the pesto over each piece of chicken and serve.
- Note: you can put the pesto mix into ice cube trays and store in the freezer for future use.

I've never heard of pesto sauce being made with spinach, only basil. Does it give it a much different taste?

Yes, according to all I've learned from personal experience and in the classes, high protein keeps you full, and the points plus value for one serving is 9pts. Trick is to keep it to one serving! The wonderful thing about ww is that you can eat anything, in moderation...
