New chicken dinners were never easier! Make this easy pesto using frozen cubes and you’ve got 4 new chicken dinners too.
- 10 cubes frozen garlic (or 10 cloves puréed)
- 5 cubes frozen basil
- 5 cubes frozen parsley
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- ¼ teaspoon finely ground pink Himalayan salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 2-3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- In a small bowl, combine frozen garlic, basil, and parsley. If frozen, add the hot water and allow to thaw for about 5-7 minutes. Then add in the salt, pepper, and grapeseed oil, and whisk until well combined and mixture has a paste-like consistency.

Absolutely loved this with Challah on Shabbos. Looking forward to a pesto grilled cheese this week. So easy! Love it!!! Thanks
Can I use something other than grape seed oil?
Easy, delicious recipe.
It was a bit too garlicky for me so I just used less garlic cubes.
I have premade pesto ready made in a jar – how much should I use?
