INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 oz Fresh Mozzarella
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add the burst cherry tomatoes to the skillet; allow them to soften slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan and plate it.
Drizzle basil pesto evenly over the chicken, then scatter the softened tomatoes on top.
Add slices or chunks of fresh mozzarella, letting the residual heat gently melt the cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, flavorful medley.
