Baked Chicken Breast with Pesto Caprese
This is so simple and delicious. It’s a good combo to make with the sliced eggplant and tomato with pesto. I recommend skipping the cheese on the chicken if you are going to use the cheese on the eggplant to stick to a serving size of cheese/dairy.
2 chicken breasts
2 tomatoes
6 Tbs pesto
Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
Sea salt and ground black pepper
Salt and Pepper chicken and then add a tablespoon of pesto to each side of the chicken. Slice tomatoes and top chicken with tomato. Top with a little more black pepper then Mozzarella cheese. Add a tablespoon of pesto on top. Cover and bake on 350 until chicken is cooked through about 45 minutes. Makes 3-4 servings
