Baked Pesto Chicken Recipe

This baked pesto chicken is a flavorful, easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The pesto adds a burst of herbaceous flavor, while the chicken stays juicy and tender. You can serve it with a side of vegetables, rice, or pasta for a complete meal.

Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil or cooking spray.

  2. Prepare Chicken:

    • Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the pesto stick better.

  3. Season Chicken:

    • Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  4. Apply Pesto:

    • Spread a generous amount of pesto over each chicken breast, making sure it’s well-coated. If you like, you can also sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the pesto for added richness and flavor.

  5. Bake the Chicken:

    • Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the chicken breasts.

  6. Optional Final Touch:

    • For an extra golden top, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.

  7. Serve:

    • Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken during the last few minutes of baking for a cheesy, melty topping.
  • Use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts for a juicier result.
  • Make it ahead: You can prep the chicken by coating it in pesto and storing it in the fridge for a few hours before baking.

This baked pesto chicken is a simple and flavorful dish that's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table! 🍗🌿
