Ingredients
- 2 lbs. chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 6 tablespoons basil pesto
- 8 oz. fresh mozzarella sliced
- 24 oz. grape tomatoes
- balsamic glaze for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- If the chicken breasts are thicker than 1 ½”, butterfly them. This means you will slice them in half to make thinner chicken breasts. You want all the chicken breasts to be about a similar thickness so they cook in the same amount of time.
- Place the chicken breasts onto the lined sheet pan.
- Smear a tablespoon of pesto on top of each chicken breast.
- Add fresh mozzarella slices on top of the pesto.
- Pour the tomatoes onto the rest of the sheet pan.
- Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken breasts have reached an internal temperature of 165°F. The roasting time is dependent on how thick the chicken breasts are.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end to brown the cheese.
- Remove from the oven.
- Drizzle the chicken with the balsamic glaze, and serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes
