Dinner has never been easier with these foil packets - simple wrap and bake. SO EASY! And the leftovers taste even better!

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup pesto, homemade or store-bought
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 slices
  • ¼ cup basil leaves, chiffonade

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cut four sheets of foil, about 12-inches long. Add chicken to the center of each foil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Fold up all 4 sides of each foil packet. Top chicken with pesto, tomatoes and mozzarella.
  • Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken, covering completely and sealing the packets closed.
  • Place foil packets in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place into oven and bake until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes.*
  • Served immediately, garnished with basil, if desired.

Notes

*Cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken.
