Juicy, marinated chicken topped with pesto on the grill. My favorite way to use up a big jar of prepared pesto!
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1/2 lemon, juice of
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
salt, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
1/2 cup prepared pesto sauce
Directions:
1. Cut chicken breasts into smaller portions and pound about 1/2 thick.
2. Combine remaining ingredients, except pesto, and pour over chicken in shallow dish. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Heat grill to 400-450 degrees. Grill chicken breasts on one side until sides no longer appear pink, and flip on the grill.
4. Spoon pesto over each piece of chicken. Close grill, and allow to cook until juices run clear.
