Grilled Pesto-Marinated Chicken

Recipe by SunnyDaysNora from allrecipes.com

Dinner 8 Hr. 20 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 1 (6 ounce) jar prepared pesto (such as Barilla® Rustic Basil Pesto)
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 ounces lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 4 chicken breast halves

Instructions

  • 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).
