Tonight, dinner turned out awesome! I was attempting to recreate something similar to my favorite Italian restaurant meal without the pasta. I think I pulled it off.
I am calling it Chicken Rosso Pesto
2 large chicken breasts pounded flat. Sauteed in olive oil and seasoned with garlic powder, salt, pepper, onion powder, and plenty of basil.
Remove chicken from pan.
Add to pan one diced red bell pepper, one can mushrooms (I didn't have fresh), and one small diced onion.
Once vegetables start to soften, add in 4 Tablespoons Rosso Pesto (this is WONDERFUL, and I found it at Aldi's), 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, and 1/2 cup grated parmesean. Shake in some dried red pepper flakes to your liking.
Dice chicken and return to pan. Ta-da!
Very similar to the original flavor of my favorite. I always wondered how they made this with such amazing flavor. After discovering the Rosso Pesto sauce, I can do it too!
