Recipe tip

COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Store leftover pesto in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir it through your weeknight pasta for extra flavour, or use it to top minestrone soup, like the one at coles.com.au/besteverminestrone.

*Seasoned and ready to eat, this roasted chicken breast is perfect for salads and sandwiches. Look for it in the meat department.
