Pesto Presto Chicken

What you'll need:
  • 5.2 oz. Garlic and Herbs Boursin Cheese
  • 8-10 fresh basil leaves 
  • 1/4 cup or handful of parsley leaves
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 fresh tomatoes
How to make it:
  1. Preheat your oven to 450
  2. Butterfly your chicken so they open like a book, add salt and pepper to taste
  3. Prepare your pesto: place parsley, basil, boursin cheese, and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese in a food processor and blend until you have a smooth paste
  4. Place chicken in a baking dish and stuff them evenly with the pesto paste
  5. Close the chicken and top each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of tomato
  6. Top each chicken breast off with some EVOO and the remaining Parmesan cheese
  7. Bake for 20 minutes or until done
Serve it up:
  • I recommend serving it with a salad, some fresh steamed veggies, or if you're really hungry some pasta.  This time I made mine with a side of cheddar and broccoli pasta.

Enjoy!

    1. It may look like a dead sea creature, but don't be fooled. The green stuff is not seaweed nor did the chicken go bad in the fridge ; ) So far I am feeling just fine. Tasty!
