Time 8h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • 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).

I've tried many grilled chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The pesto marinade is so flavorful and the chicken is always cooked perfectly.

This chicken was so juicy and flavorful! The pesto marinade really penetrated the meat, and the grilling gave it a nice smoky flavor. I served it with roasted potatoes and asparagus, and it was a hit with my family.
