From our skinny table to yours...
We love it when our meals pair well with the season and this wintery dish was a hit in our homes!  As you may have noticed we like to 'stuff' food with food, in a healthy and low cal way of course :)  Stuffed chicken being one of our go-to's!  We love being creative in the kitchen, so it's always fun to create a new and unique pesto sauce to spruce up the everyday chicken.  So we thought we would make a pesto sauce out of the oh-so-healthy pomegranate!  And boy was this good, we simply blended up pomegrante, dried cranberries, walnuts, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, orange juice, olive oil and just a smidge of parmesan cheese!  We sliced the chicken and stuffed in our healthy and delicious pesto sauce.  We served this over roasted butternut squash and spicy arugula, which made for the perfect combination of flavors!  This is a wonderful and nutritious meal that you can feel good about eating :)  We hope you enjoy!
