Pesto Chicken Tenders
Here is a simple and quick chicken dish I make about once a week that I wanted to share with you all. I used to make my own pesto, but I have found a dairy- free pesto at the farmers market, made from fresh ingredients. I’m pretty sure you can also find it at Whole Foods. This has definitely been a time saver for me! Just remember, a little pesto sauce goes a long way, so don’t overdue it. Total time: 20 minutes and din is served! Enjoy!

just fyi, here's the pesto I use 
Ingredients
1 ½ lbs Organic chicken tenders
¼ tsp salt
1 TB Italian seasonings
½ tsp of basil
½ tsp of oregano
2 TBS crushed garlic
2 lemons
3 TBS of pesto
pepper to taste
Coconut oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spread a 7 x 11 inch glass casserole dish with coconut oil. Place chicken tenders side by side in the dish and sprinkle with seasonings. Spread the crushed garlic all over the tenders. Squeeze the juice from the lemons on top of the chicken and let sit before putting in the oven. Bake in the oven for 14-16 minutes until the tenders are no longer pink inside. Take out of the oven and spread the fresh pesto on top while the tenders are cooling. Serve with your own sides. I always enjoy my chicken on top of a mixed green salad.
