I made this as a freezer meal so check out my video below to see all the ways I prepped a massive chicken haul. When I cooked this we have ZERO leftovers! I cooked the chicken in the oven, sliced it and served it over my creamy garlic alfredo sauce pasta. It was a HUGE hit and I'll definitely be making it again!

Yields1 Serving

2 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs

1 cup homemade or store bought pesto - I used Buitoni® Pesto

½ cup ranch seasoning - I used Hidden Valley Ranch powder

2 tbsp olive oil

Cube, slice OR butterfly chicken pieces and add to a Ziploc bag or bowl.

Pour remaining ingredients over chicken and mix to coat all pieces. Marinate for minimum of 3 hours (or freeze for a future date).

Preheat oven to 400 ℉. Place chicken mixture in 9x13 baking dish and bake for 25-35 minutes.

*Can also be cooked on the grill, sautéed on the stovetop, cooked in an Instant Pot or slow cooked in a Crock Pot.
