Pesto is a great way to add flavor to your chicken. Pesto is a sauce made with basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. It is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. When added to chicken, pesto gives it a savory and slightly sweet flavor that is hard to resist. It also adds a pop of color to the dish, making it visually appealing.

All you need is some boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pesto sauce, and a few basic spices. Simply rub the chicken with the pesto sauce and spices, and bake it in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Voila! You have a delicious and healthy dinner that can be made in under 30 minutes.
