Take largest chicken breasts available. Marinate a few hours with fresh basil and purchased Italian salad dressing and olive oil (marinating is optional). Coat with olive oil if not marinated. Grill for 5-8 minutes each side. Spread immediately with pesto (be generous) and sprinkle with lemon juice. Slice as though for sandwiches. Serve on a bed of arugula, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and shaved parmesan. Put a dollop of pesto mayo (mix remaining pesto and mayo) on the side. Or offer as sandwiches. Fantastico.
