Recipe Help

Tomato Pesto Chicken

Ingredients

2 medium tomatoes (rinsed)
1 3/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
6 tablespoons sun-dried tomato pesto
1/2 cup shredded Italian-blend cheese



Steps
  1. Cut six 1/4-inch-thick slices from tomato; set aside.
  2. Trim excess fat from chicken; cut chicken into six equal pieces (squares). Season with salt and pepper (wash hands). Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes.
  3. Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Place chicken in pan (wash hands); cook 4–5 minutes on each side, turning only once, or until golden.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Top each with 1 tablespoon pesto, 1 tomato slice, and then 2 tablespoons cheese.
  5. Cover and cook 10–12 minutes or until cheese melts and internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness. Serve.

Apron's Advice

The coffee cake in the dessert recipe does not need to be thawed; it is easier to cut when still partially frozen.
