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

½ teaspoon salt
4 chicken breast halves

PESTO-YOGURT ROAST CHICKEN



Pesto-Yogurt Roast Chicken image

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.

PESTO MARINADE FOR CHICKEN OR SHRIMP



Pesto Marinade for Chicken or Shrimp image

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

Provided by DeeCooks

Categories     Poultry

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup pesto sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, smashed
fresh ground black pepper

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!
