Ingredients
- 1 pint (2 cups) grape tomatoes quartered
- 1/4 /4 cup onion red, finely chopped
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 4 chicken breast about 2 pounds, cubed, boneless skinless
- 1/2 /2 cup basil pesto
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs seasoned
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, garlic, and vinegar. Marinate in the fridge until ready to use.
- In a 9x13 baking dish toss the pesto and chicken together and place in a single layer.
- Scoop the tomato mixture on top, disregarding any excess balsamic vinegar liquid leftover. Try to not put any of the liquid on the chicken.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Mix the panko crumbs and olive oil together and sprinkle on top of the cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is done. Cover with a foil tent if crumbs begin browning too much.
Notes
- Source: The Girl Who Ate Everything original
- You can make your own pesto or buy it. Almost all grocery stores carry and it's usually by the refrigerated pasta. I use Buitoni basil pesto.
- Any baked chicken will release some liquid so there will be some at the bottom of the baking dish.
