Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

½ cup softened duck fat
½ cup thinly sliced scallions
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
1 pinch fine sea salt (such as Redmond Real Salt®), or to taste
4 skin-on, boneless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Mix duck fat, scallions, ginger, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Place chicken in a baking dish. Add 1 tablespoon ginger pesto under the skin of each chicken breast; massage to spread evenly. Coat chicken with remaining pesto and season with additional salt.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
