PESTO CHICKEN RECIPE WITH VEGETABLES



Pesto Chicken Recipe with Vegetables image

One-pan chicken pesto and vegetables makes the perfect weeknight meal in 20 minutes! I recommend homemade pesto for this recipe, but you can totally use store-bought pesto for a shortcut if you need to.

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 13

1.5 lb chicken breast cutlets
Salt and Pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
1 zucchini (cut into half moons)
1 red bell pepper (cored and cut into strips)
½ red onion (sliced)
1 cup about 5 oz grape tomatoes
1/3 cup basil pesto ((homemade or store-bought) )
1/3 cup cream
Juice of ½ lemon
Zest of 1 lemon
Toasted pine nuts for garnish (optional)
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Pat chicken breast cutlets dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides. (Boneless skinless chicken breasts can be used, simply cut them in half horizontally so that you have thinner pieces. Watch the video to see how I do this).
  • In large cast iron skillet, heat a little bit of extra virgin olive oil (about 2 tbsp) until shimmering but not smoking in a cast iron skillet. Add chicken to the heated skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, turning over once. Remove from the skillet and set aside for now.
  • If needed, add a little bit more extra virgin olive oil to the skillet. Add zucchini, bell peppers, onion, and grape tomatoes. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes or so, tossing occasionally, until the veggies have softened.
  • In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, mix together the basil pesto and cream.
  • Add the chicken back to the skillet. Pour the pesto and cream mixture in. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for a minute or so.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat, add lemon juice and lemon zest. Add pine nuts and fresh basil for garnish. Serve hot with your favorite grain or plain orzo pasta.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and chicken will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, buy organic produce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and vegetables, make sure to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the food will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
  • Season the food to taste: This recipe is a good starting point, but you may want to adjust the seasonings to your own taste. Add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder if desired.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot out of the pan. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can reheat it in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

This one-pan pesto chicken and veggies recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a healthy and affordable meal option. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give this recipe a try!
