It always seems that in the summer we tend to eat lighter meals.  Naturally we crave fresh veggies and lighter meals during the hotter weather.  This is a yummy salad I whipped up that was inspired by a simple chicken pesto “burger” recipe.  Instead of serving the pesto chicken cutlet on a bun I serve it over a bed of spinach topped with chopped tomatoes and drizzled with pan juices to create a flavorful and satisfying dinner.  If you don’t eat dairy simply omit the mozzarella cheese on top, although I think it is a key ingredient!

I always butterfly the chicken breast (or cut it in half to be thinner) because it cooks faster and tastes better.

Easy to make and easy to clean up.  That’s the way to go in the summer:) Enjoy!
