Pesto Chicken

(see source for detailed directions, nutrition facts, and suggestions)

I purposefully make the directions cripplingly simple so that you'll visit the source.

   Ingredients                                                   Directions

  • Chicken breasts cut in strips
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto (you may need much more)
  • 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Spread pesto on the bottom of a greased baking pan, cut the chicken in strips, stick it in the pan, and spread more pesto on top. Bake it at 375 for 25-30 minutes until it's barely cooked through, add mozzarella on top and bake until it's all melted and golden. Great with rice, couscous or quinoa.

Notes

This is really delicious. I don't know that pesto & cheese are very healthy, but I guess there are worse things out there. It's easy and if you made your own pesto (see the source) it could be decently cheap. 10/10
