A delightful twist on the classic grilled chicken, paired with a creamy spinach and walnut pesto.
Preheat your grill pan over medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill pan is hot before adding the chicken to achieve nice grill marks.
Lightly oil the grill pan to prevent sticking.
Use a brush or paper towel to evenly spread the oil.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Let the chicken sit for a few minutes after seasoning to absorb the flavors.
Grill the chicken on the pan for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
In a food processor, combine the spinach, toasted walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Pulse the ingredients to maintain a slightly chunky texture.
Gradually add the olive oil while blending until the mixture is creamy.
Add the oil slowly to control the consistency of the pesto.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Spread the prepared pesto over the grilled chicken and serve.
Garnish with a sprinkle of Parmesan or a few toasted walnuts for presentation.
