Pesto Chicken


This is truly a delicious recipe that I'm so glad that I tried. I think I could have eaten the whole pan, but I am trying to loose a few pounds so I limited my portion to what you see above. It was wonderful.
Pesto Chicken
Chicken breasts
Pesto
Mozzarella Cheese
I put a couple spoons full of pesto in my glass Pyrex dish and spread it around.
Coat your chicken with the pesto....I used approx. 1 teaspoon per breast
Top with shredded cheese.
Cover and bake at 350 for approx. 45 min to an hour.
I uncovered mine the last 15 min. to kinda brown the cheese.
I served this over pasta that I added about 2 tablespoons of pesto to after I cooked it.
And really the calorie count wasn't to bad. I only ate 1/2 cup of pasta. I served it with a big salad.
It will definitely be served around here again.
YUMMY
Please excuse my lovely paper china....I love paper plates. I hate washing more dishes. Paper has become my best friend lately.
