This was pretty good. It had a nice gentle flavor.

1/2 cup pesto (from a jar)
2 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (1/2 cup)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


Instructions
Heat oven to 375°F. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Spread 1/4 cup of the pesto in a 9" by 13" baking dish. Lay chicken breasts over pesto in an even layer and spread with remaining pesto.
