Skinny Chicken Pesto Bake

Skinny Chicken Pesto Bake- 6 points

2 (16 oz total) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and fresh pepper to taste
4 tsp Basil Pesto
1 medium tomato, sliced thin
6 TBS shredded reduced fat mozzarella cheese
2 tsp grated Parmesan cheese

Wash chicken and dry with a paper towel.  Slice chicken breast horizontally to create 4 thinner cutlets. Season lightly with salt and fresh pepper.

Preheat the over to 400 degrees.  Line baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy clean-up.

Place the chicken on prepared baking sheet. Spread 1 tsp of skinny pesto over each piece of chicken.

Bake for 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center.  Remove from over; top with tomatoes, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese it melted.

I did this without tomatoes and it was amazing. Loved it.
