I take no credit for this recipe. Nor do I take any credit for the preparation of this meal. I WILL, however, take full credit for eating it. It was SO GOOD. I had to share it. My mom found this recipe on the Skinnytaste site, and made it for dinner on Sunday. It was a hit! Nice work mom!
Skinny Chicken Pesto Bake: Adapted from Skinnytaste
Not only is this recipe delicious and super healthy, but it is EASY. Yaaay, all the way around!
- INGREDIENTS:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and pounded thin
- 1/4 cup – 1/3 cup of pesto (you could make your own, but we just purchased some)
- 1 medium-large tomato sliced into 1/4 inch slices
- 1/4 cup – 1/3 cup of low fat part skim, shredded, mozzarella cheese
- DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a pan with foil, and spray to prevent sticking. Place chicken breasts evenly on the pan. cover them with desired amount of pesto. Place them in the oven and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken looks cooked through. Remove from the oven and cover the chicken in 2-3 tomato slices each, depending on the size of the tomato. Sprinkle cheese over the top. Place back in the oven and cook until the cheese is melted, brown, and bubbly. So easy. SO full of flavor! You could also do this on the grill.
