It’s Thursday! How is your week going?? We have had a crazy one around here….filled with friends and fun and very little time for cooking….the perfect week for an easy dinner like this Grilled Chicken with Pesto Corn Salsa!

Grilled Chicken w/ Pesto Corn Salsa - quick, easy & jam packed with flavor!

 I used to have a lot more weeks like this one….especially in summer, back when our kids were younger and there was no such thing as summer school. Summer used to be a free for all! And I used to love it!

 It’s interesting how things change over time….how much we are NOT those people anymore…and how spending time with old friends reminded me of the way I used to be. This week has been about something other than schedules and responsibilities and strict bedtimes. It has been about more than cooking and cleaning and responding to emails. It has been about friends, and fun, and flexibility….about enjoying the craziness that is summer!

To be honest, I could probably use a lot more weeks like the one I’ve been having. Weeks where simplicity rules….where the most time we spend in the kitchen is enough to make simple dinners like this. What I love about this meal is that it’s light, healthy, jam packed with flavor, and incredibly easy to put together. You can use either fresh or canned corn and jarred pesto to make it extra simple….so you have more time to actually enjoy summer. In all its craziness.

    Oh, I agree. The summers used to be so simple and easy. Family seemed to come together so much easier. The schedules were free and the times were so easy.
    I long for that too.
    The chicken is a wonderful recipe and as you say very flavorful.
    Blessings dear. Catherine

    Oh Cathy, this dish sounds so good! I absolutely adore all things pesto and nothing beats corn in the summer. What a fantastic {and genius!} combination! Pinned! And we are all enjoying the more laid back summer routine as well … if you could call it a routine 😉 But it is a good break, we all need one !
