I cannot claim to be any sort of chef. In fact, I just cooked raw chicken for the first time in my life this year. But, as I get older, I realize there is some value in being able to prepare a couple of basic dishes. I’ve recently experimented with various baked chicken recipes and finally perfected one. Here’s my recipe for an easy (yet delicious) baked pesto chicken dish. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 4 thin chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Paprika
- Oregano
- Prepared pesto
- 1 large tomato
- Shredded mozzarella
- Freshly sliced mozzarella
Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
- Season both sides of the four chicken breasts with the salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano
- Put seasoned chicken breeats in a large ceramic dish
- Evenly spread a spoonful of the pesto on each chicken breast
- Drizzle your chicken breasts lightly with olive oil
- Slice your tomato and place a slice on each chicken breast
- Place a slice of the fresh mozzarella on each chicken breast
- Sprinkle shredded mozzella over the entire dish
- Cook for 35 minutes
