Pesto is a great way to add lots of flavour to any meal. I could quite happily eat it with breakfast, lunch and dinner. I made this meal with my Clean Eating Wild Rocket & Basil Pesto for my poor Husband who is home with a poorly back. He loved it and so did the boys.

This is a quick and easy meal, made complete with a large serving of fresh salad. I had a whole chicken in the slow cooker and used half of it to add to this meal, but you could just roast some chicken in the oven instead if you wanted to.
Clean Eating Chicken & Rocket Pesto Quinoa is packed with flavour and zing. It is a great source of protein and perfect for lunch or dinner. You could leave out the chicken to make it vegan/vegetarian or if you were just looking to make it a lighter side dish to a meal.
