Instructions

Mix pesto, yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, water, garlic, and salt in a bowl.
Add chicken to the marinade, ensuring it’s well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Before grilling, bring chicken to room temperature.
Preheat grill to medium heat.
Grill chicken for approximately 3 minutes on each side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Let chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

Marinating overnight enhances the flavor significantly.
Ensure the grill is clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness.
