This is a perfect low carb main dish. The chicken in pesto sauce has an amazing creamy Mediterranean flavor. The dish including Greek Kalamata olives, Feta cheese and green pesto sauce made from basil. The whole family will not be able to stop eating. We also made a twist for those who don’t consume dairy we replaced the traditional heavy whipping cream with coconut cream (and of course remove the feta cheese). For a low carb meal, we recommend this yummy chicken over cauliflower rice.
