Instant Pot Pesto Chicken Recipe


I have five children. When it comes to week night dinners, two things are very important to me. First that my family loves the recipes and it fits the taste buds and dietary needs of all. Second, it is important to me that my time is used efficiently. During the dinner hour I am chauffeuring children, aiding in homework and balancing three babies. I need a quick, easy, and tasty meal. That is one reason I love this Instant Pot Pesto Chicken Recipe. Enjoy.

Parmesan Crisps

I seriously love a salad but the side of something crunchy, salty and irresistible makes it even better! You will love these Parmesan Cheese Crisps. A few suggestions I have are use good quality cheese and a splat mat to prevent sticking and burning.

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces good quality Parmesan cheese


Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Finely grate the cheese into a bowl.
  3. Line a large baking sheet with a non-stick pad or Parchment paper.
  4. Add a heaping teaspoon of cheese to the pan until you have six mounds, evenly spread apart.
  5. Lightly press the mounds out until they are flat. Push in any stray pieces that stick out.
  6. Bake for 5-6 minutes or until the egdes are golden brown but not all the way to the center. They will look wet, and that’s ok. If you bake them until entirely brown, they will be bitter.
  7. Remove from oven. They will begin to firm up almost immediately.
  8. Carefully remove with a metal spatula and place on paper towels. Place another paper towel on top and gently press down to absorb the grease.
  9. If you’d like to mold them, be sure to do it before they harden, which happens quickly. You can free hand it, or use a large wooden spoon handle to roll them up.
  10. Once they are completely cooled and crisp, you can store them in an airtight container between layers of wax paper for up to three days. Keep them in the refrigerator.

Makes 25-30 crisps

I like to drag my Silpat (or parchment) off of the pan to speed the cooling process up and get another batch in, but it’s up to you if you want to encourage your readers to do that. The recipe works the either way, but that just makes it go quicker.

Easy Ham Roll Up Snack

Looking for a tasty, low-carb treat? These Ham Roll ups with Cream Cheese and Green Onion will fill all your Keto snack cravings. Make this easy ham recipe over and over again.

Ham Roll Ups with Cream Cheese

Looking for an easy to make keto-friendly recipe that you can pull together when you’re running short on time? You’ll love these ham roll ups with cream cheese for not only lunches, but a quick energy snack, or appetizer that’s light and low carb.

Busy moms and students on the go will love this simple and flavorful recipe that leaves you feeling great about what’s on your plate.

Why Make Ham Roll Ups with Green Onion

Here are a few reasons why you should make these ham and cream cheese roll ups:

  • Low Carb – With only 3.9g of carbs per serving, this is an easy snack to add to your meal plan before you get too hungry and want something bad for you.
  • Healthy Snack – With only 2.5g of fat per serving, this is a delicious way to get in your green veggies with lunch or for a snack before dinner.
  • Simple & Quick – You can have these ham roll ups ready in under 10 minutes making them perfect when you’re busy at work or school.
  • Tasty Recipe – Feel free to mix in different flavors to your ham roll ups with green onion for a flavored cream cheese.

Diet-Friendly Tips for Ham Roll Ups

With tons of different ways to eat like Keto and Whole30, this simple recipe is easy to adapt to work for your way of eating.

Weight Watchers

You can substitute low-fat cream cheese and sour cream for a Weight Watchers friendly recipe.

Keto

Although I used a honey smoked deli ham, look for ham that doesn’t have the honey in the title if you’re looking for a low sugar, Keto, or low carb option. If you need more help with what’s allowed with Keto snacks, try this printable Keto cheat sheet.

Whole30

Finding a healthy, sugar-free deli meat you can eat on the Whole30 program can be tough. Since ham is a no no, try these ham and cream cheese roll ups with Applegate brand turkey instead of ham. The taste is great and you’ll be one step closer to your goals.

A quick, healthy and delicious lunch or snack no matter who you are or what your lifestyle is, this recipe is a better choice than the traditional pinwheel or roll ups with tortillas.

How to Make Ham Roll Ups

While this recipe calls for ham, feel free to use any deli meat of your choice. You can even wrap a leaf of Bibb lettuce around the outside for more green veggies or slice up some pickle to add to the middle of your roll ups.

Don’t be afraid to mix it up to your family’s taste, especially if your kids won’t eat ham roll ups with green onion.
