Pesto Chicken made with fresh basil, spinach, garlic, walnuts and Parmesan cheese to make each bite irresistible!

Provided by Jessica Gavin

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast (4 pieces, pounded to 3/4-inch thickness)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil ((120ml), plus more for drizzling)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more for seasoning)
black pepper (as needed for seasoning)
1 cup basil ((30g, 1 ounce) packed)
1 cup baby spinach ((30g, 1 ounce) packed)
3 cloves garlic (unpeeled)
1/4 cup walnuts (plus more for garnish)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (plus more for garnish)
1 cup diced tomatoes (1/4-inch dice)

Steps:

  • Place oven rack to the center position. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Drizzle both sides of the chicken breast with olive oil. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Place chicken in an ovenproof baking dish or skillet.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the internal temperature of the chicken is no longer pink and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the pesto. Place the basil and spinach in a resealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to lightly bruise the herbs and greens. Transfer to a food processor or blender.
  • Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Toast garlic until the outsides are lightly browned, shaking pan occasionally, about 8 minutes. Peel garlic and add to food processor.
  • Place walnuts in the same pan and toast over medium heat, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to food processor.
  • Add 1/2 teaspoon salt to the food processor.
  • Process pesto by pulsing five times to help break down the greens.
  • Turn food processor on low speed, as it's running slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil until a smooth pesto with some smaller pieces is formed, about 10 seconds from start to finish.
  • Add the parmesan cheese to the pesto and process on low speed for 5 seconds.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Transfer pesto to a small bowl.
  • Brush some pesto sauce on each cooked chicken breast. Transfer to a serving platter.
  • Top chicken with chopped walnuts, tomatoes, and cheese. Serve extra pesto sauce on the side.
