4 Ingredient Pesto Chicken Bake
3 servings
份量5 minutes
准备时间35 minutes
总时间配料
3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
6 oz. Jar Basil Pesto - (drained)
1 Large Tomato- (sliced)
6-8 ounces Fresh Mozzarella Pearls (or fresh mozzarella diced into small pieces)
Salt and pepper to taste
OPTIONAL: Balsamic Glaze for serving
步骤
Preheat the Oven
Heat your oven to 375°F.
Prep the Chicken
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 0.8 inches. Season liberally with salt and black pepper.
Drain the Pesto
Scoop the 6 oz. jar of basil pesto into a fine mesh strainer. Press gently with the back of a spoon to remove excess oil, ensuring a thicker, more flavorful pesto.
Assemble the Dish
Place seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish. Spread each piece with a generous layer of the drained pesto.
Add Toppings
Top each pesto-coated chicken breast with a layer of mozzarella pearls (or diced mozzarella) and a slice of tomato.
Bake
Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F), the cheese is melted, and the tomatoes are slightly caramelized. For a golden finish, broil for 1-2 minutes just before the chicken is done.
Serve:
Remove cooked chicken from baking dish and arrange on a platter or individual plates. If using, drizzle each chicken breast with balsamic glaze and serve immediately.
