RECIPE: Pesto & Goat Cheese Chicken Salad

Ingredients:
(1) 5.3 oz package Chavrie Goat's Milk Cheese - "Basil and Roasted Garlic" flavor
(1 ) 7 oz package Buitoni Reduced Fat Pesto with Basil (refrigerated, not frozen)
(1) 9 oz package Perdue Short Cuts Carved Chicken Breast - "Italian" flavor

While letting goat cheese sit out of fridge and further soften, chop chicken as finely as desired; combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

==================
I plan to put this mixture in multigrain tortillas to make a wrap for tomorrow's pot luck lunch at work. By using reduced fat pesto and goat cheese, the calories are less than using fattier cheese. Goat cheese is soft so it mixes well. This can also be added to toast or crackers as a dip or topping.
