Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- salt & pepper
- 1 cup pesto sauce
- 2 tomatoes cut into 8 slices total
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- fresh basil chiffoande
- balsamic glaze for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Season chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Lay the chicken in a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish bottom side up.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of pesto sauce on each breast and spread it all over the chicken. Flip the chicken over and spread the remaining pesto evenly over each breast.
- Bake for 25 min until the chicken is cooked through.
- Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Lay two slices of tomato on each chicken breast. Top chicken breast with 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for 5 more minutes or until cheese is melty and gooey.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle on fresh basil. Serve with pasta or a green salad. We like to drizzle some balsamic glaze over our chicken before eating.
