INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 slice Whole Grain Bread
2 tomato slices
1 oz Fresh Mozzarella
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven broiler to high and lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Spread the basil pesto evenly over one side of the chicken.
Place the pesto-coated chicken on the baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges.
While the chicken is finishing, lightly toast the whole grain bread slice under the broiler or in a toaster.
Assemble your melt by layering the cooked chicken on the toasted bread, topping it with fresh tomato slices and a slice of fresh mozzarella.
Return the assembled sandwich to the broiler for 1-2 minutes to gently melt the mozzarella, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and enjoy your flavorful, protein-packed Caprese Melt.
