My brother just sent me this recipe so I thought I'd share it. In all honesty though, I'd probably leave out the pesto and perhaps put in salsa instead (grins)

Pesto Chicken Breasts with Summer Squash

Start to Finish: 20 min.

Ingredients

4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 3/4 pound total)

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons homemade or purchased pesto

2 cups finely chopped zucchini and/or yellow summer squash

2 tablespoons finely shredded Asiago or Parmesan cheese


Directions

1. In a large nonstick skillet cook chicken in hot oil over medium heat for 4 minutes.

2. Turn chicken; add zucchini and/or squash. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes more or until the chicken is tender and no longer pink (170 degrees F) and squash is crisp-tender, stirring squash gently once or twice. Transfer chicken and squash to 4 dinner plates. Spread pesto over chicken; sprinkle with Asiago or Parmesan cheese. Makes 4 servings.
