Pesto Chicken

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.
