GRILLED CHICKEN MARGHERITA

This dish is exactly what my Summer needed and I’m willing to bet your Summer needs it too.

Easy, healthy grilled chicken margherita flat-topped with liquified cheese cheese, pesto, and tomato basil garnish.

This grilled chicken margherita is perfectly juicy and seasoned, topped with gooey, melty mozzarella cheese, 5-minute pesto (the BEST EVER!) and tomato basil relish.

This is one among the dishes that have saved United States of late with our room mess, however not with standing we have a tendency to weren’t tearing apart the guts of our home, this easy, 30-minute meal would still be major on our dining table.
