Ingredients
- 3-5 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs.) (can substitute with about 8 chicken thighs)
- ¼ cup pesto sauce
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons white wine or can substitute with chicken broth
- 1 diced tomatoes 14.5 ounce can, not drained
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and whole
- 4-6 basil fresh leaves
- 2 oregano fresh, sprigs
- 2 thyme sprigs, fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- fresh herbs for garnish, additional
- pasta for serving, cooked, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F (220C).
- In a bowl, whisk together pesto, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and wine (or chicken broth). Stir in diced tomatoes, including juices.
- Place chicken in a large baking dish (about 9-inch by 13-inch) that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with a little bit of salt and pepper, to taste.
- Pour sauce over chicken and toss to make sure that each piece of chicken is well coated. Place garlic cloves and fresh herbs in the dish (tucked alongside the chicken).
- Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes, or until meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F. Remove garlic cloves and herb sprigs before serving, and be sure to spoon plenty of the delicious pan sauce over the chicken!
Notes
- If you're unsure if the chicken is cooked test with a meat thermometer and make sure it reaches 165F.
- You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
- You can prep the chicken in advance and keep it in the fridge until you are ready to bake.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge or frozen.
