    Source of Recipe


    Southern Food

    Recipe Introduction


    Use a quartered chicken, leg quarters or split breasts to make this tasty recipe.

    List of Ingredients




    1 chicken, about 4 lbs., quartered or other chicken parts
    4 tablespoons prepared pesto
    4 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
    Juice of 1 lemon, about 2 tablespoons
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

    Recipe



    Line a 13x9" pan with foil and lightly grease the foil.

    Wash chicken and pat dry. Trim excess fat and remove skin, if desired. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and place in the prepared pan. Combine the pesto and lemon juice and rub the mixture evenly over the chicken pieces. Cover tightly with foil and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

    Drizzle the chicken breasts lightly with olive oil. Bake at 375 degrees for 55 to 65 minutes, or until chicken is cooked. Juices will run clear when chicken is pierced with a fork. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and continue baking just until melted, about 2 to 3 minutes.

    Makes: 4 servings
