Ingredients

  • 1 cup basil pesto
  • 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 3 chicken breasts, cubed

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the basil pesto and dijon mustard.
  • Add the cubed chicken to the bowl, toss to coat, and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
  • About 15 minutes before you're ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the refrigerator and uncover. Preheat the oven to 400° F and arrange the chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes or until internal temperature has reached 165° F.
