  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Drizzle about 1 teaspoon olive oil into a medium skillet. Arrange chicken breasts in skillet and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake chicken until juices run clear when pricked with a sharp knife and it is no longer pink, about 18 - 20 minutes.
  2. Top each chicken breast with mozzarella slice and a slice of tomato. Bake until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Remove from oven and top each chicken breast with about 1 tablespoon of pesto and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
  3. Serve immediately.
