Family Dinner Winner: Pesto Chicken


My entire family loves pesto so I when I saw this recipe, I knew it was a winner.  It is so easy to prepare and provides so much flavor to your meal.  I love easy dinners!  Thank you Kalyn's Kitchen.

Pesto Chicken
3 - 4 large chicken breasts
1 cup pesto sauce (or more)
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese 

Preheat oven to 375 F.  

Cut chicken breasts into 2-3 lengthwise strips.  Place enough pesto sauce (about 1/3 cup) to cover the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch pan. Lay chicken over pesto sauce.  Spread remaining pesto sauce over the top of the chicken breasts, covering well.  

Cover chicken with foil and bake 30-40 minutes (or until internal temperature reaches 165 F). Remove chicken and sprinkle mozzarella cheese across top of the chicken.  Bake 5 minutes more. Serve.
