This new Pesto Chicken and Vegetables recipe turned out to be the best yet. chicken breasts, diced green zucchini, orange carrots, green Brussel sprouts, and yellow corn are laid out on tin foil on a baking tray. The text reads "Pesto Chicken and Veggies"This freezer meal is healthy and easy to make. It can be cooked either in the slow cooker or the oven. This meal is absolutely gorgeous, especially when baked in the oven. It’s an impressive one for serving in the summer or the fall with all of its colours.

My neighbour Christie is the one who thought of adding Brussels sprouts to this recipe and that just took it up to another level, especially for me since I love them!

And I have a particular fondness for meals that are colourful in the bag. Looking at them makes me smile. The bright colours make me feel like I’ve made something particularly healthy for my family.
