Baked Chicken

I posted this on the whats cooking board this morning but the 2 responses I got weren't helpful.

Today is MIL's birthday and I'm cooking dinner for her and FIL. I'm making baked chicken, and I was wondering if you girls had any good recipes? I usually put salt, pepper, paprika, garlic salt, oregano, and basil on mine but I'd like to try something else. Do you girls have anything?

if you marinate it in italian chicken, its really good!!

Ingredients:

Chicken breast (I do the thinly sliced ones)
Bertolli's Pesto/Basil sauce
Tomatoes
Mozzarella

Coat the chicken with the pesto- I just put lots on the top
Bake for... heck, I don't know.  However long you would normally cook it.
Top with tomato slices and then mozzarella and put back in until cheese melts.

And be sure to use a baking thing with sides so that the oil from the pesto is contained.

Super easy and it's our favorite.  I even made it for MIL one time and she LOVED it (which is amazing because she's pretty critical).

I agree with the above! It tastes like you spent a lot more time on it then you actually did!

This may be too late, but I take chicken breasts and cover them with 1-2 cans of cream of chicken soup (don't add water) and then bake. Serve it over rice.

I tend to cook it like Ashleyanne does..... and I'll serve it with pasta or something.

Thanks ladies! I ended up just making it the way I normally do since I already had those ingredients on hand. I'll definitely try these in the future though!

it's SO easy.  virtually no prep and so so so yummy.  i usually do it with angel hair pasta and leave out extra pesto

The pesto chicken does sound delightful! I think we should all share recipes on here because I'm tired of cooking the same thing for my picky husband!
