Pesto-Yogurt Roast Chicken image

Marinating chicken in Greek yogurt keeps the roasted meat nice and moist, while basil pesto gives it tons of fresh flavor. You can use store-bought pesto if you're pressed for time.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups Pesto-Yogurt Sauce
3 1/2 to 4 pounds chicken drumsticks

Steps:

  • On a cutting board, sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt over garlic and roughly chop. Drag the blade at an angle across mixture until a paste forms. Transfer garlic paste to a large bowl and whisk in oil and Pesto-Yogurt Sauce; season with pepper. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour (or up to overnight).

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I like to shred the chicken and add it to the pesto yogurt sauce. I then serve it on top of a bed of mixed greens.
