Cheesy Pesto Baked Chicken Recipe

Happy March! Today I thought I would switch gears a bit and throw one of my favorite easy recipes at you. This week for meal prep I made angel hair pasta (nothing special) and cheesy pesto baked chicken! It turned out incredible! It's very easy to prep for and has only 4 ingredients. 

Ingredients:
3 chicken breasts
8oz of cream cheese
1/3 cup of basil pesto
Shredded mozzarella cheese
 
Directions:
First you want to mix your cream cheese and pesto. Once it is combined, evenly spread it over your chicken. After you have used all of your pesto mixture, put as much mozzarella cheese as you want on top to cover each chicken breast completely, you can never have too much. Bake for 30-40 minutes at 375.

There you have it! It's just that easy! I love finding these amazing recipes on Pinterest! They haven't failed me yet. If anyone decides to try this out let me know what you think!

    Wow this looks tasty! I appreciate that you shared a recipe with only four ingredients sometimes when looking up recipes online the ingredients list can be long and costly. The four ingredients: chicken, cream cheese, basil pesto and mozzarella are also food items that I could see myself easily incorporating into other dishes or snacks. I could use the left over cream cheese for bagels and I could easily use the basil pesto and mozzarella with noodles. Noodles that I already have in the cabinet SCORE! I think you really thought of your audience with this post from being cost effective and a simple recipe.

Senioritis

We are at that point in the semester where we would normally be going on spring break and the senioritis is starting to sink in. It's the point where I am starting to burn out and I know a lot of other seniors are as well. I have been trying to come up with ways to keep the stress levels down and the motivation up in order to finish out the semester strong. There are a few things I have been doing. The first things I have done is continue to focus on working out and going even when I don't necessarily feel like it. Working out helps a lot with stress and on the days that I am tired and sore and just want to lay in bed, I make sure I at least go an do some cardio and ab workouts. Another thing I have done is yoga. I have been trying to stretch and meditate at night before bed to calm myself and relax before going to sleep. That has helped a lot with being able to sleep and not having my mind running a million miles a minute thinking about everything I have to do. Finally, since

Changing My Mindset

      A lot has happened in the past year. At a glance, I might be compelled to rattle off all the terrible things that have happened in my life, in my family and friends lives, in the country, and even the world. That is all I have focused on. While some of those things might be a topic of a blog post in the future, that doesn't mean I am back tracking and going back to a negative mindset. I think writing about it is a great way to put your thoughts on paper, figure out how you truly feel, and then try and think of the good that came from it.      There have been so many great things that have happened this year like starting my senior year of college, hitting the one year mark with my amazing boyfriend, getting to spend more time with my family, learning to cook amazing food, and focusing on exercise. Those are all incredible things! While some of that may seem small, I choose to make it big in my mind. I want to relish in it and be grateful for what I have. When I notice myself

Relaxation and Flexibility

       Hello everyone! It's only Wednesday and it has already been a week. I really needed that snow day yesterday for a bit of a break but I could use about 10 more of those at this point. Yesterday as I was finishing my workout I was thinking about what I should write about this week. I realized that I'd like to share the thing that I have been doing at the end of my workouts and what I plan on doing a lot more throughout my day to calm down, get some peace, and relax.      I used to be a gymnastic so I hold myself to way to high of a standard when it comes to fitness. I have lost a lot of flexibility since I retired from the sport and I have decided I want to gain that and some skills back this year. I went searching online for a new stretching routine to follow. I have one from my old practices but I wanted to switch it up a bit. I stumbled across a Youtuber named Mady Morrison. She makes videos on yoga, fitness, and lifestyle. I watched a few and really enjoyed it. Since I
