Crispy, crunchy chicken is all the rage, and always has been. And why not? There's something amazing about the contrast of a coating of pure crunch and the tender, juicy meat underneath. And this chicken not only has that two-step, but a creamy, cheesy pesto sauce, a new layer of deliciousness to heap on your plate. All the rage, timeless classic… delicious either way.
