Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of homemade or store-bought basil pesto (yes, you can use that green goodness from a jar if you’re feeling a bit lazy!)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (because they’re cute and add color!)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (the more, the merrier)
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (if you want to impress your guests)
Instructions:
- First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Let that heat build up because your chicken is about to take a sauna!
- While the oven is warming up, grab those chicken breasts like a champion! Season them with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. We want them dressed just right.
- In a large mixing bowl, slather the pesto all over those chicken breasts. Get in there – this is where the magic happens!
- Place the pesto-coated chicken in a baking dish. Toss the halved cherry tomatoes around like confetti; they’re here for the party!
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over everything to create a crispy, cheesy blanket for your chicken. Yum!
- Slide that dish into the oven and let it bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. You want it juicier than your best friend’s latest gossip!
- Once it’s done, garnish with fresh basil leaves to add that gourmet touch (and sneak in a few extra flavors).
- Slice that glorious chicken and serve it up to adoring fans who will thank you for this culinary masterpiece!
