Baked pesto parmesan chicken
Monday March 8, 2010 11:42 AM
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 chicken, about 4 pounds, quartered, or other chicken parts
- 4 T. prepared pesto
- 4 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon, about 2T.
- 1 T. olive oil
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
How to prepare:
Wash chicken and pat dry. Trim excess fat and remove skin, if desired. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and place in the prepared pan. Combine the pesto, garlic, and lemon juice and rub the mixture evenly over the chicken pieces. Cover tightly with foil and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
Drizzle the chicken breasts lightly with olive oil. Bake at 375 for 55 to 65 minutes, or until chicken is cooked. Juices will run clear when chicken is pierced with a fork. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and continue baking just until melted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
