Ingredients
-
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
Directions
-
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).
