Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. chicken breasts
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • ½ cup pesto
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes (sliced in half)
  • 14 oz. artichoke hearts (sliced in half)

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Place chicken in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the pesto evenly over each chicken breast.
  • Layer on cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, chopped spinach and shredded mozzarella. Add salt and pepper.
