Pesto Ingredients

  • 3 cups packed basil leaves
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup pine nuts
  • ¼ cup Pecorino Romano
  • ¼ cup Parmigiano Reggiano
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Grilled Chicken

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 T garlic salt

Instructions
 

Making the Pesto

  • Blend all ingredients together in a food processor until smooth.
  • Add extra olive oil if the mixture is too dry. Keep adding more until you get the right consistency.

Grilled Chicken

  • Hammer out the chicken breasts to make them a consistent thickness.
  • Brush each chicken breast with olive oil and then top with a little garlic salt.
  • Grill at 350°F for about 20 minutes (flipping once) until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Once the chicken is done cooking, let it rest for a couple minutes before topping it with the pesto.
