Crock Pot Pesto Chicken Recipe

This easy crock pot pesto chicken recipe is a flavorful, low-effort meal perfect for busy days. The slow cooking ensures tender, juicy chicken infused with the bold flavors of basil pesto.


Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 cup basil pesto (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: Cherry tomatoes or spinach for added vegetables
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crock Pot:

    • Lightly grease the crock pot with non-stick spray or a little olive oil.
  2. Season the Chicken:

    • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Layer Ingredients:

    • Place the chicken breasts in the crock pot. Pour the chicken broth or water over the chicken for moisture. Spread the pesto evenly over the top of the chicken.
  4. Optional Add-ins:

    • If using, scatter cherry tomatoes or spinach around the chicken.
  5. Cook:

    • Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
  6. Add Parmesan:

    • Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the chicken during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking. Let it melt into the sauce.
  7. Serve:

    • Remove the chicken from the crock pot and serve with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables. Spoon the pesto sauce from the crock pot over the chicken for added flavor.

Tips:

  • Use chicken thighs for an even juicier result.
  • Double the recipe to make leftovers—this dish reheats well.
  • For a creamy variation, add 1/4 cup of heavy cream or cream cheese to the pesto before cooking.

Storage:

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.

This crock pot pesto chicken is a versatile dish that pairs beautifully with a variety of sides while delivering bold, fresh flavors! πŸŒΏπŸ—
