Mary’s Baked Pesto Chicken

4 SERVINGS | BAKE TIME: 23-30 MIN | PREHEAT: 400°

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • ½ cup refrigerated basil pesto
  • 2-3 plum tomatoes, sliced (optional)
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. Line baking sheet with heavy-duty foil.
  3. Place chicken and pesto in medium bowl, toss to coat.
  4. Place chicken on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the center.
  5. Remove from oven, top with sliced tomatoes and cheese.
  6. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Notes

Great dish with pasta and salad or vegetables. I use sliced mozzarella because it stays on the tomato better than shredded. Just place pieces of sliced cheese on tomato then bake.
