Early this year I made this delicious baked pesto chicken dish that my family loved so much. Since then I have been making it regularly and last weekend I decided to take it to the next level. For additional flavor and texture, I topped the baked pesto chicken with the dynamic duo of tomato and grated mozzarella cheese. The result was tasty chicken pieces topped with gooey, cheesy goodness. Yummy!
