Pesto Chicken & Vegetable Skillet with Burrata is a light and healthy 20 minute dinner recipe full of fresh flavors.
If you are looking for a healthy, flavorful and filling dinner recipe, this Pesto Chicken & Vegetable Skillet with Burrata is perfection! Lean chicken breasts are tossed in a skillet with pesto and fresh summer vegetables, including asparagus, squash, zucchini and tomatoes. It is topped with a creamy burrata cheese for a delicious dinner you will love any time of the year!
I add in the cherry tomatoes at the very last minute so they are still crisp and juicy. I’m not a huge fan of soft and mushy cooked tomatoes in my recipes, so I prefer to cook them just enough to heat them through. They add a nice pop of flavor and crunch to the dish along with all the other cooked vegetables.
If you are ambitious and have loads of basil in your garden, you can certainly make a nice homemade pesto for this dish. I for one, am often lazy or in a hurry, so I just opt for a store bought pesto. I really like this Classico pesto because it has lots of Parmesan for extra flavor and it is stocked at my small local grocery store, so that’s an added bonus!
