    Ingredients

    3 chicken breasts

    6 oz. jar basil pesto

    2 medium tomatoes, sliced

    3 - 6 slices mozzarella cheese

    Directions

    Preheat the oven to 350° F. Season chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper.

    OPTIONAL STEP: While the oven is preheating you can heat some olive oil or butter in a skillet. Once hot add the chicken breast and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until caramelized. The chicken should still be raw in the center.

    Arrange chicken breasts (seared or raw) onto a baking dish or rimmed baking sheet.

    Use a spoon to cover chicken breast with pesto.

    Top each chicken breast with 1 thin slice of mozzarella cheese and 2 thinly sliced tomatoes.

    Bake for 20- 30 minutes (time will vary based on chicken thickness) or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F. Broil the chicken the final 2 minutes so that the cheese is bubbly and golden. Serve immediately.
