Serve with sauce. Enjoy!

Oh my! I have all the ingredients required. :-)
Sounds delicious. My basil plant wintered over in the house, and now that it's outdoors it is so much happier!
Oooo! I think I have everything I need for this laying around! Quite excited that it is on the grill!
Jenn, I might stir up some pesto just to be able to make this simple sauce with the leftovers! Love your simple sauces!
I love your sauces! They can make the simplest dish so much more glamorous and sophisticated ... and delicious ... :)
I think adding leftover pesto, salsa, or chimichurri to another base really rocks out the sauces, don't you?
Your chicken sounds scrumptious. I've bookmarked it to try when I get some extra time. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings...Mary
This sounds great, Jenn! I giggled when I saw your plate though. Is your food actually touching?! Or was this Chris' plate?? Hope your weekend was wonderful!
Another amazing sauce - you really need to write a sauce cookbook woman!
