How to Make Delicious Chicken Pesto Parmesan

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown.

Remove the chicken from the skillet and place in a baking dish.

Spread pesto sauce generously over each chicken breast.

Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and grated parmesan cheese.

In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, minced garlic, and lemon juice.

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Meanwhile, sauté spinach in the same skillet until wilted.

Add halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh basil and the sautéed spinach and tomatoes.
