Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pesto (storebought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Place the chicken in a gallon-sized ziploc bag. Pour in the pesto, rice vinegar, salt and sugar. Seal the bag and shake it up until the marinade is combined and the chicken is well coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill. Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through (or an instant read thermometer reaches 160 degrees). Tent the chicken with foil and let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Alternately, the chicken can be broiled or cooked on an indoor grill pan or skillet.
Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
