How to cook deliciously - Grilled Pesto-Marinated Chicken

1. Stage

Mix together pesto, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, pepper, and salt in a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours to overnight.

2. Stage

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

3. Stage

Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

4. Stage

Cook chicken on the preheated grill over indirect heat until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
