-salt & pepper
-6 T. pesto
-1 large tomato, diced
-1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
-1 bunch green onions, trimmed and sliced in half lengthwise
Directions:
1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
2. Tear 2 sheets of aluminum foil at least 12 inches each. Pour 1 teaspoon olive oil in the center of each piece of foil, sprinkle salt & pepper into the olive oil then toss chicken breast to coat.
3. Spread 1 tablespoon pesto over each chicken breast. Layer 1/2 of the vegetables over each, then top with remaining 2 tablespoons pesto.
4. Fold foil over the chicken and vegetables. Make sure to double fold the top and pinch the sides to form an airtight packet.5. Place the packets on the grill and cover for 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees. Alternately, you could bake them in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes if you don’t have access to a grill.
