Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb organic chicken breasts (~3 breasts/lb)
  • 3-6 tbsp pesto sauce
  • 4 roma tomatoes sliced
  • Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • Shaved parmesan cheese optional
  • Sliced black olives optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Trim any excess fat from the chicken and place between pieces of parchment paper.
  • Pound chicken to even thickness (approximately ½ inch) with a meat mallet.
  • Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper and transfer to a baking dish. Ensure the chicken fits snugly for best cooking with not a lot of extra space in the pan.
  • Spread pesto sauce over the top of the chicken breasts and cook for about 20 minutes, then add the sliced tomatoes and parmesan cheese, if desired.
  • Continue cooking until chicken is cooked through (about 15–20 additional minutes). Add sliced olives as garnish, if desired, and serve.
