Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1/2 cup Progresso™ panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup basil pesto
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
4 bone-in skin-on chicken breasts (8.25 oz each)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic in oil about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Add bread crumbs. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until toasted. Remove crumb mixture to small bowl. Stir pesto and Parmesan cheese into bowl with crumbs.
  • Loosen skin on chicken to form a pocket, without detaching skin completely. Fill each pocket with pesto mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place chicken on grill, skin side down, over medium-low heat. Cover grill; cook 10 minutes, moving occasionally as needed to avoid burning the skin. Turn chicken; spoon any remaining pesto over chicken. Cook 10 to 15 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (170°F).

Creamy pesto chicken with roasted tomatoes image

A fast and filling, all-in-one chicken dish

Provided by Emma Lewis

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tbsp Homemade pesto (see the recipe in tip section below)
85g mascarpone
4 tbsp olive oil
100g breadcrumb, preferably from day-old bread
175g baby tomatoes, on the vine
handful pine nuts
handful basil leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Use a small sharp knife to make a slit along the side of each chicken breast to form a pocket. Mix together the pesto and mascarpone, then carefully spoon a quarter of the mixture into each chicken breast and smooth over the opening to seal.
  • Brush a little oil, about 1 tsp, all over each chicken breast and season well. Tip the breadcrumbs onto a large plate and season. Place each breast on the plate and press all over with the breadcrumbs. Place in a lightly oiled shallow baking dish along with the tomatoes (kept together on the vine in a couple of bunches). Drizzle over the remaining oil.
  • Cook in the oven for 20-25 mins until the chicken starts to turn golden and is cooked through. Scatter over the pine nuts and cook for 2 mins more. Sprinkle with basil leaves and serve with new potatoes or crusty bread.
