Servings: 4
Ingredients
- ½ cup pesto
- 2 tbsp yogurt
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 lb. chicken breast thin sliced or slice larger breasts in half
Instructions
- Combine the pesto, yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, water, garlic, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to combine. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
- Take the bowl out of the fridge 20-30 minutes before you want to cook to allow the chicken to come to room temperature.
- Heat a grill over medium heat (approx. 400°F), then place the chicken onto it and grill for 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and wait a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
