- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together chicken, pesto, salt, and pepper until chicken is thoroughly coated.
- Place chicken breasts on prepared baking sheet. Spread extra pesto left in the bowl on each piece.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked.
Notes
- Traditional pesto usually has Parmesan cheese. To make this paleo/whole30/dairy free, make sure you use a pesto with no cheese.
