This moist and flavorful chicken is as easy as it is satisfying! Perfect with a green salad, rice, or pasta.
Ingredients
- 1 (6 ounce) jar prepared pesto (such as Barilla® Rustic Basil Pesto)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 ounces lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 chicken breast halves
Directions
Step 1
Mix together pesto, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, pepper, and salt in a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours to overnight.
Step 2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 3
Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 4
Cook chicken on the preheated grill over indirect heat until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
