Caprese Chicken

- published in 2017 from my previous blog -

Guys, this recipe is soooo simple!! & I'm absolutely obsessed with it!


 Caprese chicken w. spinach noodles from Aldi! 


Ingredients

1lb chicken breast
2 slices Mozzarella cheese
1 medium tomato
6.7oz can of your favorite pesto
Carbohydrate of your choice: noodle or rice

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place chicken breasts on a baking sheet (atop foil for easy clean up) or a casserole dish and cook for 20-25 minutes. Once the chicken is nearly done, coat each breast with a spoonful of pesto then place 1 piece of Mozzarella cheese & a slice (or two) of tomato. Place back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes until chicken is completely cooked, cheese is melted & tomato is soft. Cook your carbohydrate according to instructions and mix in remaining pesto. Serve a chicken breast on top of 1 carb serving (spinach noodles pictured above) - Enjoy! 



Note: I also mixed spinach in with my carbohydrate because I recently found out my fiance really enjoys spinach so I've been adding it to everything to give him an extra serving of greens!
