This is our version of Pesto Chicken. We spice it up a little by adding ginger-garlic paste and crushed red pepper. You can make the pesto at home, we tend to buy it at our local Costco here.
Ingredients
- Pesto - 2 tablespoons
- Ginger Garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
- Chicken tenderloins - 6, cleaned, washed and pat dry
- Olive oil - 1 tbsp
- Italian Seasoning - 1/2 tsp (Optional)
- Crushed red pepper flakes - 1 tsp (adjust as needed)
- Crushed black pepper - 1/4 tsp
- Salt - to taste
Instructions
1
Clean and dry the chicken tenderloins and set aside.
2
In a bowl, mix all the other ingredients and pour it over the chicken and mix well.
3
Refrigerate the marinated chicken for 2-3 hours or overnight if you have the time.
4
Heat a griddle on a medium flame and lightly oil it.
5
Put the chicken pieces on the hot griddle and cook till browned on one side.
6
Flip over and brown the other side too.
7
Serve hot with Runner's World pasta or any pasta of your choice.
Note:
- The chicken tends to cook quickly so take care not to overcook the chicken.
- Left overs can be refrigerated and eaten with salads or cut into strips and made into a pesto sandwich.
