1/2 cup basil pesto
Dash of Salt & Pepper
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Slice the two chicken breasts in half horizontally, this will help the chicken cook quicker and become super tender. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on each side.
- Grease a 9×13 baking dish add 1/3 cup of pesto all over the bottom of the dish, add the chicken in, brush 2 Tbs more pesto on top of the chicken breasts. Bake for 22 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked.
