Pesto Chicken Thighs with Italian Creme Sauce Over Parmesan Couscous

The Real Women of Philadelphia are on the hunt for the best recipes using Philadelphia Cream Cheese. There are so many fun things to check out on their website , you can meet other cooks, check out new recipes and watch great videos for ideas to get you started with your own recipe to enter.

One of my favorite sections of the website is where I can watch The Season Two Video Recipe Gallery. Women from all over the country upload their cooking videos for all to see.

I also love that Season One has their very own cookbook with recipes from home cooks that created simple dishes with Philadelphia Cream Cheese.

This week is Main Dish week, so put on your thinking caps and get cooking! To help inspire, I’ve shared a recipe I created, titled Pesto Chicken Thighs with Italian Cream Sauce over Parmesan Couscous. It’s simple and full of Italian flavors the whole family is sure to love. With just a few ingredients dinner will be on the table in no time at all! Enjoy!
