Ingredients:

2 skinless and boneless organic chicken breasts

Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tbsp organic extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp grass-fed butter

1 7-oz. jar organic basil pesto

4 oz. thinly sliced grass-fed mozzarella or dairy-free mozzarella as alternative

1 small organic tomato, sliced

Fresh basil, slivered for topping

Drizzle Balsamic glaze

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400F.

Step 2: Prepare chicken by cutting in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Season with salt and pepper on both sides, to taste.

Step 3: Add olive oil and butter to the pan. Allow butter to melt and adjust to medium high temperature. Add chicken breasts and cook on each side until lightly browned, 3–4 mins each side.

Step 4: Add lightly browned chicken to prepared baking pan and top with 1–2 tsp basil pesto each (you can add more if desired). Add sliced cheese and tomato and cook in oven for 10–12 minutes.

Step 5: Remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil and drizzle balsamic glaze. Enjoy!
