Best Basil Pesto Recipe: Put This Easy Pesto Recipe on Everything

Basil pesto is not only packed with flavor, it’s also super easy and quick to put together. You'll want to use this delicious pesto recipe on pasta, in this caprese panini recipe, on grilled chicken breasts, grilled shrimp, in this peas with pesto recipe, on rice cakes, in a salad dressing or even on pizza (well, just about everything)!

While I do try other basil pesto recipes, this is my go-to-recipe. I love making chicken pesto pasta, pesto chicken breasts, pesto pasta salad and creamy pesto chicken spaghetti with it. I always make extra and freeze it for later. What's your favorite way to use pesto?
