Bacon Wrapped Pesto Chicken

Another quick, easy and delicious week night dinner recipe with delectable flavors derived from bacon and pesto sauce.

In a blink of an eye, we have jumped right into summer! School has been out for 2 weeks now and Bella and Jamie are looking forward to their first summer camp next week. Even though it is the summer holidays, we still keep it fairly active for the kids with martial arts classes, piano and swim lessons. I may be slowing it down a little in the kitchen but we can't possibly eat out or get take out all the time. So, here's another family favorite that I'd like to share with you that is quick and easy to make with just a handful of ingredients.
