Pesto Chicken Bake

By froggyess

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thin sliced cutlets
• salt and fresh pepper to taste
• Basil Pesto
• 2 medium tomatoes, sliced thin
• mozzarella cheese (fresh or shredded)
• 4 tsp grated parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Dry chicken with a paper towel. If not using the thin sliced cutlets, slice chicken breast horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Season lightly with salt and fresh pepper.

Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy clean-up.

Place the chicken on prepared baking sheet. Spread 1 tsp of pesto over each piece of chicken.

Bake for 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove from oven; top with tomatoes, mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
