Paleo Pesto Chicken

With Hannah home over Christmas break I thought it would be cool to try some of her weird paleo food and maybe clean my diet up a bit that way. So we started looking around on pinterest and other places and found a recipe for paleo pesto chicken. To be quite honest with you, I laughed. Right, we're totally gonna make pesto with no cheese. Haha, no. But well, my curiosity got the better of me. I had to try this. Yes, I was assuming it would be pretty pathetic, nothing can be nearly as good as real pesto. But for my weird paleo sister I would try it.

So we made the pesto with me shaking my head the whole time. I know pesto, and this, this was not pesto. But I mainly kept my skeptical comments to myself. It does not go well when you insult someone's eating choices I've found. So we whipped up our "pesto", cooked and cooled and chopped our chicken, mixed it all together and than came the important part: tasting it. Would it taste like pesto? Or was I just gonna gag? Hmmm, okay, not as good as real pesto, but ehh, still quite good. Worth eating. ;)

We served it on whole kale leaves with some toasted pine nuts sprinkled on top. Mmmmmm!
