This Pesto Chicken Bake is one of the easiest chicken recipes you’ll make, but it packs a ton of fresh flavor! You can start with jarred or homemade pesto, depending on what you prefer. Either way, this pesto chicken comes out juicy, flavorful, and just perfect for any night of the week!
I’ve definitely had more time to cook dinners lately, but I still keep gravitating towards the tried and true easy recipes that I know my family is going to love.
I love to cook and create new recipes – I just don’t necessarily like to do it at 6pm when everyone is hovering around telling me how hungry they are. 😉
So, easy dinners are a win for me and this pesto chicken bake could seriously not get any easier! It reminds me a lot of our salsa chicken, since the method is basically the same.
I love when big flavors come out of simple recipes and that’s exactly what happens here!

Chicken – You’ll need four boneless, skinless chicken breasts that have been pounded out to an even thickness. This recipe would also work well with chicken thighs.
Pesto Sauce – You can make a homemade pesto sauce if you’ve got the time or just grab a jar from the store. I’ve linked to my favorite jarred pesto which I know has a lot of flavor and is perfect for this pesto chicken bake recipe!
Toppings – This keto pesto chicken gets topped off with a mix of Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses along with some halved cherry tomatoes and fresh basil for garnish! It’s a cheesy chicken dish with lots of flavor!
