Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds thin cut chicken breasts
  • 7 oz. container pesto
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • kosher salt, pepper
  • 6 oz fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
  • fresh basil for garnish
Instructions

  1. Lay the chicken breasts flat in a 9x13 baking dish. Spread the pesto evenly on top of the chicken breasts.

  2. Toss the cherry tomatoes with the olive oil until evenly coated. Place the cherry tomatoes in the dish with the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken and tomatoes with kosher salt and pepper.

  3. Bake the chicken and tomatoes in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes.

    Note: Increase baking time 5 to 10 minutes if using regular cut breasts.

  4. Place the sliced mozzarella cheese on the chicken and bake an additional 5 minutes.

  5. Serve with fresh basil over top.

    Note: This is very good served with fettuccine alfredo.
