Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 small or medium chicken breasts
Olive oil for pan
Salt and pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
4 slices deli mozzarella cheese
4 thin slices tomatoes ((I use large tomatoes))
½ cup basil pesto ((plus more to taste))
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Pat dry the chicken breasts. Cover with plastic wrap, and using a meat mallet or meat tenderizer tool, pound to even thickness to about ½ inch thick. Season the chicken on both sides with the garlic powder, the Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper (about ⅓ teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of pepper for each breast). Optional: let the seasoned chicken sit for 10 minutes to allow the seasonings to penetrate.
  • Heat about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil on a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook on each side for about 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F. Turn off the heat.
  • Spread some pesto over each chicken breast, about 2 tablespoons per breast. Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese and a slice of tomato.
  • Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely melted.
  • Serve with fresh basil on top. Enjoy!
