Baked Pesto Chicken
A quick, easy, and delicious dinner using just 4 simple ingredients!
Prep Time 5 minutes minutes
Cook Time 33 minutes minutes
Total Time 38 minutes minutes
Servings 4
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced in half lengthwise
- ½ cup prepared basil pesto
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes halved
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a large oven-proof skillet or baking dish.
Place chicken breasts in skillet or baking dish. Spread 2 tablespoons of pesto evenly over each breast.
Bake (uncovered) for 30 minutes, or until chicken is done and juices run clear (will depend upon thickness).
Remove from oven. Sprinkle evenly with cheese and arrange tomatoes evenly over and around chicken.
Return to oven and bake an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
- A helpful tip for slicing the chicken - Place in the freezer about 30 minutes before slicing. This firms the meat a little, making it easier to slice.
