Earlier in the week, my good friend Marisa and I decided to start a weekly cooking-sesh. On Wednesday we made a basil pesto chicken, asparagus, and couscous.
What you'll need:
Ib of boneless chicken breasts(ours were tenders because they were cheaper)
Fresh asparagus, depending on how much you like
Pre-made couscous from the bag
1/2 cup Mozzarella
Tomato and spinach optional
salt and pepper
4 tbsp of basil pesto
This was a very simple to prepare meal. We preheated the oven to 400 and while that was heating up we put the chicken on a baking sheet. We coated both sides of the chicken with the pesto and put it in the oven for around 25 minutes. We checked to make sure the chicken cooked through and topped the chicken with spinach, tomato, and the mozzarella. We then placed it back in the oven for 5 more minutes or until the cheese melted.
For the asparagus I just melted some butter in a pan and sautéed the asparagus until they browned. I then seasoned salt and pepper for taste.
Also the couscous was just popped into the microwave for 60 seconds.
