20 mins
Easy
This vibrant bowl brings together juicy, pan-seared chicken and earthy baby spinach, tied together with a bright, herbaceous pesto. It is the perfect balance of lean protein and fresh greens for a nourishing midday boost.
A simple, high-protein lunch that combines tender chicken breast, fresh baby spinach, and a homemade walnut-basil pesto. Ready in 30 minutes, this meal provides sustained energy for your afternoon.
For the best flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished bowl. The acidity cuts through the richness of the pesto and makes the spinach pop.
