  • Total Time: 30m
  • Serves: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
  • 1/2 c pesto, homemade or store-bought
  • 1/4 Pecorino Romano cheese
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Places the chicken breasts on a baking sheet. I like to use foil under mine to make sure the chicken doesn't stick.
  3. Brush the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
  4. Put 2 tablespoons of the pesto on each of the chicken breasts. Rub the pesto evenly all over the top.
  5. Top each breast with 1 tablespoon pecorino romano cheese.
  6. Bake the chicken for 24-28 minutes. The thicker the chicken, the longer it will take to cook.
  7. When the chicken is finished cooking, tent a piece of foil on it. You need to let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting into it.
  8. When the chicken has rested, slice and enjoy!
