Urban Recipes

It's Friday and it may be fall but I still love to enjoy grilled food through the cooler months.
This BBQ Chicken with pesto is a great fall meal for a weekend. The best part is that it is so simple!
Marinate the chicken breasts for at least 30 minutes with some oil, Montreal Chicken Spice, fresh lemon zest and thyme. Place them on the bbq and serve with the Basil Pesto that I posted a few weeks ago. This chicken is full of flavour and very juicy from the marinade. The creaminess of the basil pesto takes this meal to a whole other level!
If you make this BBQ Basil Pesto Chicken, please tag me on social media. I will do my best to answer any questions and would love to get your comments.
