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).

PESTO-YOGURT ROAST CHICKEN
Marinating chicken in Greek yogurt keeps the roasted meat nice and moist, while basil pesto gives it tons of fresh flavor. You can use store-bought pesto if you're pressed for time.

- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil, then top with parchment paper. Arrange chicken in a single layer on sheet. Bake until skin is crisp and chicken is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through.

PESTO MARINADE FOR CHICKEN OR SHRIMP
I had a grilled pesto-marinated chicken breast at the Hayes Mansion in San Jose and wanted to make it at home, but couldn't find anything like what I had--it wasn't just chicken with pesto on it, but had been marinated. I searched for something similar, but could find nothing, so I finally came up with this. I've used my own pesto recipe (Recipe #242383) and store bought pesto, and both work well. One cup of marinade is enough for four boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together.
- Marinate chicken for at least an hour, more is better! For shrimp, don't marinate too long--the lemon will "cook" the shrimp. It doesn't ruin it, but it changes the texture a bit.
- Brush marinade on meat while it's cooking. (Discard garlic chunks).
- Works well with chicken, shrimp, and firm white fish. I think it would be good with pork tenderloin, but I haven't made that yet!
