🇮🇹 Easy Weeknight Pesto Chicken - One-Pan, 35 Mins!

A one pan, 35 minute, pesto, tomato and cheese chicken recipe you need in your life!
Who doesn't adore pesto, right? Originating from Genoa, Italy, Pesto Genovese is a vibrant green sauce bursting with flavour. Made using fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, and Parmigiano Reggiano, it offers a delightful symphony of tastes. You will have left over, so enjoy it in other recipes too. This uncooked sauce brings a burst of freshness to pasta dishes, but its versatility knows no bounds, enhancing bruschetta, sandwiches, and dips. I made this the Traditional way, using a mortar and pestle, which gives it a creamier texture without destroying the goodness and vitamins from machine friction.
But if you're short on time, then of course you can use a blender or even buy it.
This recipes a one pan wonder, you will love it! The sauce is made using fresh cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic and a little white wine. The chicken thighs are coated with pesto, topped with mozzarella slices, and broiled until melted. An explosion of delicious Italian flavours, deliciousness awaits all in one pan, enjoy!

Congratulations, this has to be one of the best cooking/recipe sites on all of KZbin with professionally formated recipes for FREE. Professional presentation with clear directions, step by step instructions. Chef Jean-Pierre, Anti Chef from NY even Recipe Tin Eats, this is one of the BEST. The passion of cooking really comes through. Bravo! and Bravo to Whisky for being a great mascot.

[@glenbo02]

Chef, you make some of the most gorgeous creations I have ever seen.

[@aletabrady6425]

I did not like the pesto pasta dishes my husband was making until he made THIS. Major game changer. One of the best meals I've ever eaten. Now i beg him to make it. Especially when I'm not feeling well. Comfort food for the soul. Thank you for gifting us with this incredible recipe. It is now a staple recipe in our household.

[@aprilkerr5978]

I have made pesto chicken many times but never like this. And I've never made pesto with a mortar & pestle. Ok, Joel! I see I'm gonna have to step it up a notch. Thanks for the recipe!

[@recipe30]

Cheers BB, there's definitely a difference doing it the old fashion way.

I came across this video while searching for a recipe. The recipe looks delicious, but what caught my attention the most was the beautiful imagery and the clever Sheltie (Whiskey) especially. It felt like watching a short movie, and I look forward to seeing more in the future!

[@recipe30]

Awesome! Thank you and welcome!

[@tracyfeng2475]

[@cathleengrady1351]

Whiskey didn’t look impressed with your pesto making skill but I was! Making this chicken soon. Beautiful 🥂❤️

[@recipe30]

Anything without meat doesn't impress him much, enjoy it! ❤

[@coolabah-blue]

It never occurred to me to make my pesto that way I always make it in my blender. I will try doing your way tomorrow. Thx Joel, great recipe,I’m going to make it tomorrow night.Whiskey is so polite I wish ours were.🐶💗🙏🏻🇺🇸🇦🇺

[@recipe30]

It's the traditional way which seems to make it creamier and of course the basil retains all the vitamins. Enjoy Marjorie!

[@ida1751]

My fav French cook... bec of the simplicity you bring to such otherwise sophisticated recipes that one wld delight eating themselves or sharing with somebody... This is a keeper for me ...ññ all the more bec I am more of a chicken fan than other meats...

Same location . ) .. this looks so delicious. ...!

Not really ideal for salmon, but if you like it that way, enjoy! ❤

Welcome! ❤

[@carlmullerlane]

This looks delicious. Think I'll give it a go, but may add some kalamatta olives to it also. When would you recommend adding the olives to the recipe, if I were to do so, Joel? Will it make much difference, do you think? Love all your recipes btw, & of course, Whiskey. ☺

[@helbock]

I think you might like to know that the name of my seven month old male fawn pug was inspired by your sweet doggie's name. He's "Agent Whisky Kisses". Your culinary content is just as inspiring!

[@recipe30]

What a cool name, cheers ❤

Great recipe Chef Joe! But we’re not very generous with Whiskey boy though lol

[@ilseenkel4363]

Mmmmh, lecker

[@Jessie-le5mv]

Simple and good taste as always, and what's is Australie tradition local cook? I never have any pet but your Whisky is so rare, if your another chanel is "how to train your dog" to have the same great succes.

Don’t the tomatoes and wine eat away at the cast iron seasoning and leave a metallic taste?

[@atulkumar2006]

What would be an alternative for pinenut?

[@frankfurter7260]

Whiskey looked so unimpressed with the Pesto. He’s like just get to the chicken already.

What type of salt do you use here as well as most of the other videos..?

[@lorinkenney3245]

Where can i find the printable version?

[@shortsweettoo]

I don't know about elsewhere, but here in Canada.... you can buy a bottle of wine for less then a handful of pine nuts. Shame really, but keeps us from making certain recipes. Looks lovely though 🙂

[@recipe30]

Look out for pine cones and pick them out yourself. Or use walnuts, that works too! ❤
