There have been a lot of sweets baking going on at my house for the holidays. I look forward to dinner time probably more than anyone in my family due to the fact I can’t wait to get something nutritions and salty in my system haha!

If you are looking for a new dinner idea, this is a great one to try! It is packed with flavor and is absolutely delicious!

It sort of reminds me of a caprese type of chicken as it contains basil pesto, tomatoes and mozzarella. These flavors fuse together beautifully to make for one tasty meal.

It was super simple to throw together and was a hit at our house!
