Just a Tid-Bit

You will probably not see ANY fish (or sea food for that matter) recipes from Candi and won't see any beef recipes from Crystal.  Although maybe one day maybe we will cook our forbidden meals for our husbands since they both like the meat we won't cook, but until then we will let Crystal take care of all of the seafood and let Candi take care of the beef.

Pesto Chicken

So, here is a tasty and simple favorite in our house... Enjoy!

Pesto Chicken

Need:
4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Jar (Classico 10 oz.) Traditional Basil Pesto
2 cups preshredded Mozzarella Cheese
2 Plum Tomatoes cut in chunks

To Make:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Defrost Chicken Breasts (if frozen).
Place Chicken Breasts in large bowl.
Puncture chicken breasts with fork 2-3 times each piece.
Spread Basil Pesto over chicken, rub with spoon generously all over chicken.
Typically, for 4 pieces of chicken I would use half the jar.
If time allows let chicken marinate in basil pesto for 15-20 minutes.
Cover cookie sheet with foil.
Place chicken breasts on cookie sheet (spoon extra basil pesto back onto chicken)
Bake for 20-22 minutes.
Remove and layer generously with mozzarella cheese and tomatoes.
Bake for additional 4-6 minutes.
Enjoy! Serves: 4
