Pesto Chicken Bake Recipe

This Pesto Chicken Bake is an easy, flavorful dish where juicy chicken breasts are topped with pesto, tomatoes, and melty cheese. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend meal.

Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Optional garnish: fresh basil leaves or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil.

  2. Season the Chicken:

    • Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. Layer with Pesto:

    • Spread a generous layer of pesto over the top of each chicken breast.

  4. Add Tomato Slices:

    • Place 2-3 slices of tomato on top of each chicken breast.

  5. Add Cheese:

    • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the tomatoes and pesto.

  6. Bake the Chicken:

    • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

  7. Garnish and Serve:

    • Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve hot.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Pair with roasted vegetables, steamed green beans, or a simple garden salad.
  • Serve over cooked pasta, quinoa, or rice for a more filling meal.

Tips:

  • Chicken Thickness: For even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
  • Customize: Add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the dish in advance and bake when ready to serve.

This Pesto Chicken Bake is a crowd-pleasing, low-effort recipe that's packed with bold flavors. Enjoy! 🍗🌿🍅
