About Oven pesto chicken

Oven Pesto Chicken is a flavorful dish inspired by Italian cuisine, featuring tender chicken breasts coated in a rich blend of basil pesto and baked to perfection. This dish highlights the vibrant flavors of fresh herbs, garlic, parmesan cheese, and olive oil found in traditional pesto, paired with lean protein from the chicken. It's a versatile recipe, often served alongside roasted vegetables, whole grains, or fresh salads for a balanced meal. Nutritionally, Oven Pesto Chicken is a good source of protein while pesto adds heart-healthy fats from olive oil and nuts. However, it's important to monitor portion sizes and sodium levels from store-bought pesto or added cheese. For a lighter version, opt for homemade pesto with reduced oil or less parmesan. Perfect for busy weeknights, this dish brings Mediterranean simplicity to your table without compromising nutritional value.
