Preparation
1
Season & Cook Chicken

  • Cut mozzarella into ½-inch slices.

  • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until chicken is about ½ inch thick. Season all over with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. TIP: While chicken cooks, move on to the next step!

  • In the last minute of cooking, carefully spoon half the pesto over chicken; top with a layer of sliced mozzarella. Cover pan until cheese melts.
