This easy and delicious recipe yields juicy and flavorful chicken every time. The key is to use skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts, which retain moisture better than boneless, skinless. If you prefer, you can spread the pesto under the skin and then discard it after cooking.Â

Is it possible to make a QR code for your recipes in that we could then scan it and have the Suvie machine programed for us?
Hi Alissa, we don’t currently offer this function, but we do have recipe cards for many Recette recipes that allow you to tap the card to the Suvie and all the cook settings will load automatically, just like the Suvie Meal Cards. You can order these through the planner or on the accessory website.
