Baked Pesto Chicken Recipe

This Baked Pesto Chicken is a simple and flavorful dish combining juicy chicken breasts with rich pesto and gooey melted cheese. It's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a cozy meal.


Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Optional garnish: fresh basil leaves or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Top with Pesto:

    • Spread a generous layer of pesto over each chicken breast, covering the surface completely.
  4. Add Cheese:

    • Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the pesto-topped chicken.
  5. Bake the Chicken:

    • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Garnish and Serve:

    • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Pair with roasted vegetables, a simple green salad, or garlic bread.
  • Serve over pasta, rice, or quinoa to make it a hearty meal.

Tips:

  • Chicken Thickness: For even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before seasoning.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the dish ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Enjoy the creamy, herby goodness of this easy Baked Pesto Chicken. It’s sure to become a family favorite! 🍗🌿🧀
