Skinny Chicken Pesto Bake

Ingredients:
2 (16 oz total) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and fresh pepper to taste
4 tsp Basil Pesto
1 medium tomatoes, sliced thin
6 tbsp (1.5 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tsp grated parmesan cheese

Directions:
Wash chicken and dry with a paper towel. Slice chicken breast horizontally to create 4 thinner cutlets. Season lightly with salt and fresh pepper.

Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy clean-up.

Place the chicken on prepared baking sheet. Spread 1 tsp of skinny pesto over each piece of chicken.

Bake for 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove from oven; top with tomatoes, mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

To Grill: Grill chicken over medium flame on both sides until cooked through in the center.  Lower flame, top chicken with tomatoes and cheese, and close grill until cheese melts.
