Fresh, Bright, Light


This recipe is so easy, its insane. It's made using rotisserie chicken so it can be put together in a pinch. 


Ingredient List:

  • Rotisserie Chicken

                 Cilantro Lime Pesto - ingredients to taste

  • Fresh Cilantro,  roughly chopped
  • Limes, squeezed
  • Olive Oil
  • Garlic, whole or roughly chopped
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Almonds/Pine Nuts/Hemp Seeds (whichever is on hand)

Directions:

  1. Debone chicken while warm
  2. For cilantro pesto, combine all ingredients in food processor or Vitamix/blender 
  3. Combine chicken and pesto together in a plastic bag. Keep in mind in healthy doses of pesto. Do not use too much pesto to keep the chicken low calorie and low fat. 
  4. Marinate chicken in Ziploc bags
  5. If there is left over Cilantro Pesto, store in refrigerator and use for another recipe to be used soon or freeze in ice cube crays for an hour, then remove from ice cube tray and store in freezer Ziploc bags.
