I can't wait to try this recipe with a big ole turkey breast!  Dinner last night was so yummy that I just had to share.  We were so full and I was reminded of the words my baby brother said many years ago, "Mommy, my mouth is hungry but my stomach isn't!"

Instructions:
Salt and pepper chicken breasts.  Add canola oil to large fry pan and saute' both sides of chicken breast to brown.  Remove from pan.  Chop small potatoes in half and saute' in pan with onion for about 15 minutes, turning frequently.  Add chicken breasts back into pan, add 1/4 cup water then top chicken breasts with sage pesto.  Turn to simmer, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes.
