Grilled Pesto Chicken Packets
from Rachel Ray
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 2-1/4 pounds)
Salt and pepper
1 cup pesto
2 zucchini, thinly sliced
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
8 scallions, trimmed
Directions:
1.Preheat a grill to medium. Cut four 12-inch-long sheets of heavy-duty foil. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil into the center of each sheet.
2.Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Lay 1 piece of chicken in the center of each sheet and spread 1 tablespoon pesto on top.
3.Mound one-quarter of the zucchini, tomatoes and scallions over each chicken breast. Dollop 3 tablespoons pesto over each mound. Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables; pinch the edges to seal.
4.Cover and grill the packets over indirect heat for 25 minutes. Remove from the grill and open carefully.
What I changed:
I followed this recipe closer than the last Rachel Ray attempt. This time I just used onions instead of scallions and broccoli instead of tomatoes. We had this with oven baked red potatoes. (See separate recipe!)
Hope you made your own pesto! Need that fresh flavor that only home made can give. Really easy so long as you have a blender or food pro.
