Pesto Stuffed Chicken Bake
Chicken breasts sliced and stuffed with homemade or store-bought pesto and cheese, baked surrounded by cherry tomatoes tossed in lemon juice and olive oil. Simple techniques ensure juicy, flavorful chicken finished to an internal temp of 165°F. Mozzarella or provolone can work. Watch for tomato skins blistering and chicken juices running clear. Practical substitutions included: swap chicken for turkey cutlets, basil pesto swapped for sun-dried tomato pesto for earthier notes, and lemon juice replaced with white wine vinegar if needed. A touch of smoked paprika adds twist and depth.
