Directions

Slow Cooker Roasted Pesto Chicken

Rub the pesto all over the chicken, even under the skin. You can see how I season under the skin in this post.  Place in the slow cooker on low for 5-6 hours or high 4-5 hours. Serve immediately, use the leftovers for the pesto chicken salad.

Slow Cooker Pesto Chicken Salad

Cube or shred the chicken in large chunks. Mix with the remaining ingredients. Let sit in the fridge over night or at least 5 hours so the flavors can meld. If you find the chicken salad gets a little dry the next day you can add another Tbls of mayonnaise.

    This looks amazing! I have a rampant herb garden and am up to my ears in fresh basil right now, so this would be a great way to use up some of it, and any recipe that utilizes the slow cooker gets extra points from me. Thanks so much for sharing this unique chicken salad!
