Expert Tips

Step 6

SALT: You may find your chicken needs a bit more salt. If so, add a pinch more. Many brands of mozzarella cheese and jarred pesto contain different amounts of salt. For best results, taste and add more if needed.

Step 7

PESTO: To keep this recipe super simple, you might want to purchase a small jar of pesto from the grocery. If you choose to make homemade pesto and use it with this chicken recipe, store the rest in a covered container in the refrigerator. Consider using the pesto in breakfast recipes, in a dip, mixed with pasta, or on pizza. Homemade pesto will keep for a week if covered in the refrigerator.
