Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, skinless, and boneless
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp butter
6 oz jar of DeLallo Traditional Basil Simply Pesto
4-6 slices fresh mozzarella
8 cocktails or small tomatoes, sliced
DeLallo balsamic glaze
Fresh basil, slivered

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400° F.
Use a thin, sharp knife to slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted into the olive oil, add the chicken breasts to the pan, being careful not to crowd.
Cook on each side until lightly browned and easily release from the pan, about 3-4 minutes each.
Slather the tops of each chicken breast with the basil pesto, about 1–2 tablespoons per chicken breast.
Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella and a few slices of tomato. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 10–12 minutes.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
