4 servings

  • 0.5 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 0.5 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons prepared pesto

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine panko, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Place chicken thighs onto the prepared baking sheet and coat each side with pesto. Press panko mixture onto chicken.
