Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly with the seasoning mix.
Pesto Application: Arrange the seasoned chicken in a baking dish. Generously spread pesto sauce on each chicken thigh, covering the surface completely.
Baking Time: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the skin is crispy and golden.
Serving Suggestions: Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves or parmesan shavings for an extra touch of flavor. Ideal with a side of roasted vegetables or over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes.
