Directions
Chicken with Lemon Thyme Pesto, This recipe from Better Homes and Gardens , This was good, but I did have to change a few things to help it better suit our tastes I added about 2 or more Tablespoons of lemon juice to the pesto mix, as well as some salt, and a little sugar I also added more seasoning to the chicken, including garlic, lemon pepper, and thyme Then I served it over some linguine and I wish I would have saved some of the pasta water to thin the pesto for that purpose since it is a rather thick pesto and made the noodles a bit on the dry side I did add a bit of water but not much since I didn’t think to keep the pasta water It is a good flavor blend, but it just lacks a bit of oomph! I do like that it doesn’t call for any parmesan or other forms of dairy since we are a dairy free house At the table I found I actually wanted even more lemon so squeezed more fresh lemon juice onto my own
