INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
10 Fresh Basil Leaves
0.5 tbsp Pine Nuts
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (grated)
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a food processor or blender, combine fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, grated Parmesan, olive oil, and garlic. Blend until smooth, creating your fresh pesto.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
Brush the chicken with a light coat of the prepared pesto, reserving a small amount for topping after grilling.
Place the chicken breast on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes.
Drizzle the remaining pesto over the grilled chicken before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
