easy creamy pesto chicken

i am  addicted to my smart phone.  i was always curious why smart phone users were so in love with their phones…then i got one.  question answered.

anyhow, so i have this wonderful app from AllRecipes.com called DinnerSpinner.  it is amazing!  you can choose how long you want the recipe to take, main ingredients, whether it is a side, main, dessert, etc. then it spits out recipes for your choosing.  it is perfect for those after work trips to the grocery store when you are trying to decide what to make for dinner.

i used the spinner to come up with both my dishes for last night’s dinner.

easy creamy pesto chicken

the recipe was simple and called for few ingredients (my favorite type of recipe!).  i used whole wheat pasta, which i found really suited this recipe.  it took under 20 minutes to make and is pretty healthy!

sugar snap peas

Sprouts was having a great sale on sugar snap peas and snow peas.  i love both, so i picked up a couple of pounds.  i found this recipe on DinnerSpinner and went with it.  i realized afterward i’m not a huge fan of thyme by itself, but it was still pretty tasty!

by the way, that stone bar pan i made them on is pretty incredible.  if you don’t have one, you should check out Pampered Chef’s collection of them.  probably my favorite Pampered Chef item!  check them out here!

i am still finding my cooking legs, i have to admit the chicken was a little overcooked, but i am enjoying learning and doing more in the kitchen.  now if i can just find a slightly larger space to work with!

have fun cooking ya’ll!
