Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 cups fresh basil
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. If desired, pound chicken breasts lightly so they are of even thickness, then dry with paper towels.
  • Pour oil in a 9x13 baking dish. Roll the chicken breasts through the oil to coat it, then place chicken breasts side by side in the dish.
  • Combine salt, pepper, onion and garlic powders in a small bowl. Sprinkle mixture over chicken and rub with your hands to coat in the oil and seasonings. 
  • Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 160-170 degrees.
  • While the chicken is baking, make the pesto sauce. Place all the pesto sauce ingredients into a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth. Add more olive oil for a thinner sauce.
  • Once chicken is out of the oven serve immediately with a dollop of pesto sauce on top. Enjoy!
