3-Ingredient Pesto-Grilled Chicken with Peaches

Ingredients for 3-Ingredient Pesto-Grilled Chicken with Peaches

• 425ml store-bought or homemade pesto, divided

• 120ml plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided, plus more for grill

• 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

• 3/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided

• 8 small bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.4kg )

• 4 ripe peaches, halved

Whisk 350ml pesto, 120ml oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Add chicken to bowl and slide your hand between skin and meat to loosen skin. Rub half of pesto mixture under skin, then half over outside. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high; oil grate or pan. Season chicken with remaining 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Grill chicken, skin side down, covered, until golden brown and lightly charred, 7–9 minutes. Turn and grill until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 74°C, 5–7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.

Brush peach halves with oil. Reduce heat to medium and grill peaches, cut side down, until warmed through, 2–3 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk remaining 60ml pesto and 2 tablespoons oil in a small bowl. Arrange chicken and peaches on a platter and drizzle pesto sauce over. Serve remaining sauce alongside.
