Last year on Black Friday I purchased myself a cast iron Dutch oven.  Mine is a beautiful teal because I like colorful cookware. I had previously purchased a cheap, non-stick dutch oven from Kroger because I needed one for a recipe. Well I loved using it so I’ve been wanting to upgrade to a cast iron version plus I am always on the lookout for more recipes. Thanks to Google, I discovered Everyday Dutch Oven and it’s plethora of recipes!  Just the other day I was cleaning out my fridge and noticed I had a jar of pesto so I decided to try the Pesto Chicken Breast.  I love the smell of pesto. Even my picky son could not wait for dinner. I will have to say though that while the dish was tasty it also had to be one of the un-prettiest dishes I have ever made.    So no pictures unfortunately.  I did have some leftovers which are pretty darn tasty in some scrambled eggs!

Pesto Chicken Breasts
4 chicken boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tub or jar of prepared pesto sauce (I use Artisian Fresh Pesto from Sam’s Club)
3-4 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup breadcrumbs
3-4 Tbsp melted butter
1. Lightly oil your dutch oven.
2. Place chicken breasts in bottom of dutch oven.
3. Spread chicken with pesto sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
4. Melt butter and mix with bread crumbs.
5. Sprinkle buttered breadcrumbs over chicken and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
