Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast boneless, skinless, sliced lengthways to make 4 fillets
- 4 Tbsp pesto sauce or store-bought, homemade
BRUSCHETTA TOPPING:
- 1 Cup cherry tomato chopped
- 1 garlic minced, cloves
- 3 Tbsp pine nuts toasted
- basil shredded, fresh
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- sea salt fresh ground, to taste
- black pepper fresh ground, to taste
Instructions
- Rub chicken fillets with pesto sauce on all sides.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook chicken for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the inside.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine all bruschetta topping ingredients.
- Top each chicken fillet with the bruschetta mixture and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can make your pesto or, to save time, you can get fresh pesto from the store. Costco has an amazing pesto you can get.
- You can make the bruschetta topping up to a day in advance, but it's best fresh.
- Fresh tomatoes and fresh basil take this bruschetta topping to the next level!
- You can use a grill or pan to cook the chicken, grilling uses less oil.
- If you are feeling decadent you can place a slice of mozzarella cheese on the chicken before adding the bruschetta topping.
