🇮🇹 Easy Weeknight Pesto Chicken - One-Pan, 35 Mins!

A one pan, 35 minute, pesto, tomato and cheese chicken recipe you need in your life!

Who doesn't adore pesto, right? Originating from Genoa, Italy, Pesto Genovese is a vibrant green sauce bursting with flavour. Made using fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, and Parmigiano Reggiano, it offers a delightful symphony of tastes. You will have left over, so enjoy it in other recipes too. This uncooked sauce brings a burst of freshness to pasta dishes, but its versatility knows no bounds, enhancing bruschetta, sandwiches, and dips. I made this the Traditional way, using a mortar and pestle, which gives it a creamier texture without destroying the goodness and vitamins from machine friction.
But if you're short on time, then of course you can use a blender or even buy it.

This recipes a one pan wonder, you will love it! The sauce is made using fresh cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic and a little white wine. The chicken thighs are coated with pesto, topped with mozzarella slices, and broiled until melted. An explosion of delicious Italian flavours, deliciousness awaits all in one pan, enjoy!

I did not like the pesto pasta dishes my husband was making until he made THIS. Major game changer. One of the best meals I've ever eaten. Now i beg him to make it. Especially when I'm not feeling well. Comfort food for the soul. Thank you for gifting us with this incredible recipe. It is now a staple recipe in our household.

I will definitely make this over the weekend. Never made pesto manually. But then l have learnt over my years of cooking by hand normally is far better. Thanks for another brilliant recipe. Have a great weekend.

I came across this video while searching for a recipe. The recipe looks delicious, but what caught my attention the most was the beautiful imagery and the clever Sheltie (Whiskey) especially. It felt like watching a short movie, and I look forward to seeing more in the future!

[johnsilva]

I must say you do serious business in the kitchen and it always looks absolutely delicious. Since I have the ingredients in the house, I must make it this weekend, or I will never stop thinking about it.😋

[coolabah-blue]

It never occurred to me to make my pesto that way I always make it in my blender. I will try doing your way tomorrow. Thx Joel, great recipe, I’m going to make it tomorrow night.Whiskey is so polite I wish ours were.🐶💗🙏🏻🇺🇸🇦🇺

[BillyBoy]

I have made pesto chicken many times but never like this. And I've never made pesto with a mortar & pestle. Ok, Joel! I see I'm gonna have to step it up a notch. Thanks for the recipe!
