Baked pesto parmesan chicken
Chicken is a popular family favourite ingredient. It’s probably one of the most used proteins around the world. Kids also tend to like chicken because of its quite mild flavour compared to red meat. There are so many options to cook with chicken. I want to share one of my family’s favourite chicken recipes. It’s moist and tender baked pesto and parmesan chicken.
I have to say, I didn’t eat much chicken for many years, because I was concerned about the ethical side of chicken farming. Nowadays I am glad I can buy organic chicken even at our nearest supermarket. That I am happy to serve also to my toddler.
