To make everything perfect, you need to make the pesto yourself - only then will you get a very aromatic, rich mass that will firmly saturate the chicken flesh: fresh garlic and basil will merge firmly with the meat, and the finished chicken after being in the oven will also smell of fresh sauce. To go with the chicken, you should prepare an equally rich-flavored salad of potatoes, arugula, red onions and tomatoes. Attention! Pesto is needed not only to coat the chicken with it, it will also have to be tucked under its skin.
