]]> If you need a great spring and summer recipe that’s perfect for a picnic, then these Chicken Pesto Caprese Sandwiches are it! These are so easy to put together in just a few minutes and are made with simple, healthy ingredients. I love having sandwiches for lunch in the summer, and these are an elevated option! The flavors are so good – pesto is the quintessential summer flavor IMO. The sandwiches would work great for a party or any outdoor event, too. Let me know if you try these! 

What You Will Need:

Chicken Breasts 

Caprese tomatoes

Mozzarella 

Basil pesto 

Bread

Other Healthy Recipes To Make:

Meal Prep Vegan Breakfast Cookies

These meal prep vegan breakfast cookies are also gluten free. Made with only 5 ingredients and you’re able to add in pretty much whatever you want! Chocolate chips, chopped nuts, granola, dried fruit, anything you’d add to your regular oatmeal. I love to make these for breakfast or to have on hand for a healthy snack throughout the day. They are sweetened with banana and maple syrup.

Thai Chicken Curry Soup

We are soup obsessed over here, especially in the fall and winter. It can get a little boring eating the same soup every week though. This one is anything but boring. Packed with spices and loaded with flavor. Plus it’s an Instant Pot soup which means it’s easy to make and easy to clean up.

Paleo & Gluten Free Burger Bowls

These paleo and gluten free burger bowls are another healthy 15 minute lunch or dinner for you! With a homemade burger sauce, you can’t go wrong with this recipe! I love putting this burger sauce on not only these paleo and gluten free burger bowls but also regular burgers.
