Pesto Chicken

Ingredients

8 chicken thighs, deboned and skinned
1 jar of pesto, or my  homemade Pesto recipe below
2 tomatoes
8 slices of Asiago cheese

Directions

Place chicken in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Spread the pesto sauce on top of each piece of chicken. Slice tomatoes and add a slice to the top of each thigh. Top each piece of chicken with the cheese. Bake in 400 degree oven for 30-35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

Directions:

Place basil, other greens (if desired), garlic, cheese, and pine nuts into a food processer. Pulse until combined. Turn the machine to low and slowly add the olive oil until mixed thoroughly.
