Directions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear it on both sides until golden brown. Remove the skillet from heat.
Spread 1 teaspoon of pesto on each chicken breast. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pesto.
Scatter the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes around the chicken in the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the oven, and bake until the cheese is bubbling and the chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Serve your Pesto Chicken hot, and enjoy!
