Pesto Caprese Chicken

If you know me, follow my blog, or have glanced at my Instagram, you would know that I love anything caprese. Whether it be a caprese panini, caprese salad, caprese caprese, I love them all! For those of you who don't know what caprese is, it is a simple Italian dish that consists of sliced fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, and sliced tomatoes. Simple, right?! It's also so incredibly fresh and tasty and will compliment many dishes as a side, or adding it to the main dish!


Another little tid bit of info about me is the fact that I love pesto and recently, chicken. When my husband and I went on our honeymoon to Maui three years ago I had this delicious mozzarella chicken panini at Cain & Taro. I mean what's better than those three ingredients? When they top it all off with pesto! Mhmm, that garlicky basil spread goes good with just about any dish as well. 


So I figured, some of my favorite ingredients should marry and become one main dish! So here you have it: 
Pesto Caprese Chicken

This dish was so easy to throw together that it makes the perfect middle of the week, hectic dinner throw-together. All you need is chicken breast, store-bought pesto, whole tomatoes, a fresh log of mozzarella (or shredded if you don't have the fresh kind laying around) and fresh basil. 


Layer the chicken with pesto first which will basically glue all the other ingredients onto the chicken and prevent them from sliding off. 

Next layer the basil leaves. If you can get fresh basil from your garden like I did, that is the best! 

Next you will slice the tomaotes in 1/4" slices and place on top of the basil and pesto and finally top off with a thick slice of mozzarella cheese.



Then just pop it in a 400º oven for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken juices run clear / it reaches an internal temperature of 165º

  7. After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or call him +2349055637784 you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS

  14. My Dear friends online, My name is amanda bella And i live in USA, ohio, I have to give this miraculous testimony, which is so unbelievable until now. I had a problem with my Ex husband 2 years ago, which lead to our break up. I was not myself again, i felt so empty inside me, my love and financial situation became worst, until a close friend of mine told me about a spell caster who helped her in the same problem too his name is Doctor Jude. I email the spell caster and i told him my problem and i did what he asked of me, to cut the long story short. Before i knew what was happen, less than two days my husband gave me a call and told me that he was coming back to me i was so happy to have him back to me. The most interesting part of the story is that am pregnant. Thanks to Doctor jude for saving my marriage and for also saving others own too. Continue your good work, If you are interested to contact the great spell caster email address: liberationlovespell@gmail.com or contact him on whatsapp +2348034062173

  17. I feel so blessed again in my marriage after Doctor Oku brought back my husband that separated with me for good 3 mounths. Am Jessica Butler by name from los angeles. Even though i have mouths all over my body, it won't be enough to thank Doctor Oku for his help upon my life. My husband separated with me for the 3 months and have been in pains and agony without him. So, i searched for help everywhere but nothing worked out not until i meant Doctor Oku who i contacted online. I explained my situation to him and he promised that my husband will get back to me within 24 to 48 hours as far that my heart still beats for him. I believed in him and he prepared a spell for me and my husband called me exactly when Doctor Oku said. He pleaded and said he needs me back and now we are living happily again for the past 9 months. Everyone out there reading my article that needs help should contact him... Email: okutemple@gmail.com or whatsApp him +2347053113465
