Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat a grill pan to high.
  2. Toast the nuts lightly in small skillet over low heat, then add them to a food processor.
  3. Add the arugula, basil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt and pepper, to taste, and pulse to combine.
  4. With the processor on, stream in the extra-virgin olive oil to form thick pesto.
  5. Lightly pound out the chicken, then rub all sides with the pesto. Spray the grill pan with cooking spray or rub with a little oil and grill the chicken 2 to 4 minutes on each side.
  6. Cook's Note: Serve sliced on top of Caesar Spaghetti or, pile it onto ciabatta bread with sliced tomatoes and mozzarella for an outta-sight sammy.
