Easy Baked Pesto Chicken

(6-7 oz) boneless (skinless chicken breasts)

salt

black pepper

basil pesto (divided)

mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cut each chicken breast lengthwise into 3 pieces. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper.

Spray a 9x12 baking dish with cooking spray. Spread 1/4 cup of the pesto over the bottom of the dish.

Add the chicken strips then top with the remaining 1/4 cup basil pesto.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 375 for 25 minutes.

Uncover the dish, sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese and return to the oven (uncovered). Bake for 5 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through. If desired, broil the dish for 2-3 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Serve the pesto chicken hot with extra juices from the bottom of the dish.
