haley's hot basil and pesto chicken salad

My friend Haley has a big baby boy like me. We need food and lots of it. Huge sandwiches packed with salad and protein, or big nutritious salads with good fats and lean meat keep our boobies full enough to supply gigalitres of milk and gives us the strength to tackle a teething baby on minimal sleep.

Here is Haley's latest masterpiece.
