Marinated Pesto Chicken image

A friend of mine brought this recipe back from her travels to the Mediterranean. She actually cooks the chicken on a barbecue. She roasts the vegetables while the chicken in marinating if she hasn't marinated the chicken overnight. The chicken in cooked on the cooler part of the barbecue.

I would give this recipe 0 stars if I could. It was the worst chicken I have ever had.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the pesto sauce was inedible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. The pesto sauce was also a bit too bitter for my taste.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better. I would also recommend using a different type of pesto sauce, as the one I used was a bit too oily.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! The pesto sauce was a bit too salty for my taste, but that's easily fixed. I will definitely be making this again.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of pesto, but I'm so glad I did! The chicken was so moist and flavorful, and the pesto sauce was actually really good. I will definitely be making this again.
