- 125 g mozzarella cheese finely sliced, ball
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- black pepper freshly ground

- Butterfly the chicken breasts in half if large.
- Fry gently on one side until chicken looks cooked half way up, then turn over and fry for the same amount of time until just firm to touch (with a utensil). Take off heat.
- Spread a heaped teaspoon or so of pesto on each piece of chicken and then layer on the tomatoes and mozzarella.
- Season and drizzle with olive oil.
- Put pan under the grill until cheese has melted.
- Serve on a bed of pasta (pour over pan juices) with a mixed green salad.
Notes
