Recipe- Basil Pesto Tomato Mozzarella Chicken Bake

 


The recipe this week is one I found through Pinterest, and it's surprisingly good! I made it for the first time in December 2021 and have repeated it quite a few times since. I've made this when we've had friends over for dinner before. It's easy (easy to prep beforehand and throw in the fridge) and tastes really great. I encourage you to try this one out!

Here it is:
