I love chicken and cheese recipes. I picked up some reduced chicken breasts in the supermarket yesterday and they've been earmarked for something similar.
Hello Jo ... yes, chicken and cheese go so well together. I'm sure you will enjoy your chicken breasts later. I often buy chicken or pork for our menu plans, as they are both usually very reasonably priced.
Although I highlighted a chicken recipe idea today, Eddie and I are actually going to have one of our favourite pork casserole recipes - as highlighted here

We aren't pesto likers but I suppose the cream cheese could be one of those flavoured ones, cheese and chicken is a winner here!
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Lisa ... yes, if you're not too keen on pesto, you could use something like the Boursin Cheeses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boursin_cheese But chicken is good to eat and there are many great recipes around.
Enjoy your New Year's Day
All the best Jan
