Baked Chicken With Pesto Tomatoes And Mozzarella Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

These chicken breasts are so simple to put together and bake but taste as if you spent hours in the kitchen. This recipe includes a homemade pesto but you can use store-bought if you are in a pinch. Considering the pesto is made quickly in the food processor, it really doesn't add much time at alland the fresh taste of homemade is absolutely worth it. Just top the chicken cutlets with a little pesto and then bake. Once cooked through, top with sliced tomatoes and mozzarella cheese and broil until melted and bubbling. A flavorful dish the whole family will love
