            Macnut-Crusted Pesto-Stuffed Chicken with Acorn Squash



































        One look at this chicken dish and you can see that it’s something special.

        It all started when I found a large bunch of fresh basil and had a hankering for pesto….then entered a bag of
        macadamia nuts and some free-range chicken tenders. I wasn’t really sure where this dish was going to lead, but
        I’m glad that I took the time to find out. It ended up being one of the most delicious dinners ever.

        This recipe has a few extra steps, due to the stuffing and crusting, but it’s well worth the effort when you’re
        biting into the tender, flavorful result of your efforts.

        Here’s what you need:

        For the Acorn Squash: (If you want to skip the acorn squash, serve on a bed of arugula.)
              1 acorn squash                                          salt and pepper
              juice from half a lemon (save other half for
               pesto)
