- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces

Place the chunks of chicken in a large freezer bag and season with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of pesto. Seal the bag and massage everything together until coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
Preheat oven to 425° F. and either spray it with cooking oil or if you don't want to do dishes, line it with foil and spray the foil with cooking oil.

Remove from the oven and toss everything with a spatula, then place it back in the oven to finish cooking for approximately 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately.
