**If this is your first video on the Dawn Loves Food Channel - WELCOME :) I do things a little differently than a typical food video.

Only 5 ingredients and it makes a TON; shredded chicken, artichoke hearts, cherry tomato, spinach and easy peasy Paleo Cilantro Walnut Pesto sauce all mixed up and ready to pop in a lettuce wrap or tortilla. Top a salad with it or even a sweet tater, get creative!
THE BIRD
In a pinch or short on time grab a pre made rotisserie chicken and shred it up in bite size strips. Take the skin off if there's a laundry list of funky ingredients, there's plenty of flavor in the pesto. You can always grab a whole chicken and your favorite seasonings and bake it at home too. Use your best judgement; you know your body best :)
WHY CILANTRO
Traditional pesto is made with basil. Because I find it difficult to get fresh basil all year long I grab the cilantro instead. Usually basil's pretty darn expensive in stores even when it’s in stock. I really need to get busy on that herb garden idea, sure would make things so much easier and cheap!
Cilantro is readily available all year long and it’s always fresh in the organic section of the grocery. The price is right and the flavor is perfect along with parsley.
STIR IT UP
To complete the Paleo Cilantro Pesto Chicken Salad grab a big bowl. Add the shredded chicken in. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, chop up the artichoke hearts and spinach into bite size. Throw in a cup of the pesto sauce and stir, that's it!
