Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  • In a medium bowl, toss chicken pieces with 1/2 cup prepared pesto. Lay chicken pieces in a single layer on cookie sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven 14-16 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and there is no longer any pink in the center.
  • Remove from oven. Place a layer of sliced tomatoes, slightly overlapping, over each chicken breast. Drizzle the top of the tomatoes with about 1 Tablespoon, per breast, of remaining pesto. Top each piece of chicken with an equal amount of cheese.
