Ingredients
Scale
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 medium tomato, sliced and then cut slices in half (or two smaller tomatoes and skip halving them a second time)
8–10 slices of Galbani fresh mozzarella
¼ cup pesto
2–3 broccoli crowns, cut into florets (about 6 cups of florets)
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Make crosswise cuts in the chicken breasts, slicing almost to the bottom but not all the way through.
- Season chicken generously with salt and pepper.
- Alternately fill the cuts in the chicken breasts with tomato and mozzarella slices. Spread pesto on the top of the prepared chicken breasts.
- Transfer the chicken to the baking sheet.
- Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt and pepper and scatter around chicken.
- Bake for about 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender.
