This 2 ingredient Pesto Chicken<\/strong> recipe is going to be your next favorite weeknight meal for sure. Whether it is grilled or oven baked, it turns out tender and juicy every single time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicken is smothered in a creamy, homemade basil pesto and teamed up with cherry tomatoes, turning into one of the best, easiest low carb dinners ever! It\u2019s really the perfect dinner for anyone who doesn\u2019t have time to muck around in the kitchen-just like our Creamy French Mustard Chicken<\/a> and our Creamy Garlic Chicken Breasts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why This Recipe Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oh lord. This chicken is unreal<\/em>. Because I’m a fan of variety, I’ve included two<\/em> different cooking methods in the recipe below. Personally, I love <\/em>grilling and the unmistakeable barbecue, char-grilled flavour it gives the chicken, just like our Grilled Chicken Caprese<\/a>. However, oven baked is just<\/em> as good, drawing out the natural chicken flavours, making for a tender and juicy chicken breast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all starts with pesto, and because homemade pesto is nine million <\/em>times better than store bought, we already have a Homemade Basil Pesto<\/a> recipe ready to go. That’s the pesto you’re going to be smothering all over your chicken.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When I say two ingredients, I do mean two, but every time I make this I cant resist some tomato on the side<\/p>\n\n\n\n
