Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375ºF. (See recipe notes for grilling instructions.) Grease a 9X13 baking dish and set aside.
Step 2
Pound the chicken breasts evenly to about one inch thickness. This will allow them to cook evenly and decrease the baking time. Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish and liberally season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Divide the pesto on top of each breast and spread evenly. Scatter the tomatoes around the chicken.
Step 4
Bake 25 -30 minutes, or until the internal temperature measures 165ºF.
Step 5
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove from the oven, reposition the oven rack to the top position. Turn on the broiler. Top the chicken with the mozzarella and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starts to brown. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
