Ingredients

  • 4 thin cut chicken breasts
  • ½ cup pesto
  • 1 jar marinara sauce
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1-2 bundles of baby broccoli

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375.
  • If you did not buy already thin cut chicken breasts, flatten your chicken breasts out. You can do this by using a mallet, or simply by pressing gently but firmly with your hand. Work slowly, so as to not tear the meat.
  • In each chicken breast, put ¼ of the broccoli and pesto, and wrap the chicken around them, placing them seam side down in an oven safe skillet or baking dish.
  • You can use a toothpick if you'd like to hold the chicken together, however mine stuck together just fine by putting the seam side on the bottom of the dish.
  • Cover the 4 chicken breasts with marinara sauce, and top with cheese.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through.
