INGREDIENTS
1 lb. boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
salt and pepper to taste
4 tsp. Lite basil pesto (see recipe below)
1 medium tomato, sliced thin
6 Tbsp. shredded reduced fat mozzarella cheese
Lite Basil Pesto
1 cup basil
clove garlic
1/4 cup grated parmesan
salt & pepper to taste
2 1/2 T. olive oil
DIRECTIONS
Pesto: In a food processor pulse basil, garlic, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper until smooth. Slowly add the olive oil while pulsing. Store in a sealed container and refrigerate until ready to use or you can freeze this in ziplocks bags to use at a later date.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create 4 thin breasts. Season with salt and pepper. Line baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up. Place the chicken on the foil and spread 1 tsp. of skinny pesto over each piece of chicken. Bake for 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove from oven and top with tomatoes, mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Enjoy! Psalm 38:1-22

An 1840’s General Store situated on our property, is used as our on site Farmer’s Market. The old General Store was once the central hub for a railroad community, and served many important roles in the community of Goggans, even a United States Post Office until the 1960’s. It later served a new, bigger community purpose, inspiring our Farmers Market To You program to be born. This building is registered as a Historical site, and is adjacent to the old “Doctor’s Building”, which is rumored to have served as a Courthouse, among other things. The history on our property, rich with farming and community purpose, inspired us to serve our community in a new and exciting way.
We, both David and I, have always had a passion for growing flowers and plants, rooted from wonderful Grandmothers teachings. We, like everyone began to make a more conscience effort to eat healthy and naturally grown fresh food. Since we have 80 acres, we began by adding a “small” acre and a half vegetable garden. When people began driving an hour or two, just to buy our tomatoes and cucumbers, we realized there was a real need in many communities for families like ours….and Farmers Market To You was born. We have been able to expand in to several of our neighboring communities…and touch and reach families along the way. We are able to donate food and cash to needy families, food ministries, PTA’s, churches and other vital community service organizations because of the overwhelming support from the community!
