Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 9” square baking dish (or casserole dish) with non-stick spray. Pour can of tomatoes into pan and spread evenly over the bottom. Nestle chicken breasts into the tomatoes. Spread about 1 tablespoon pesto over each piece of chicken. Bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through (the internal temperature should be 165°F). Top with shredded cheese, and return to the oven for 5 minutes until melted. Use broiler if you want the cheese browned. Remove from oven and sprinkle with basil. Serve immediately and store any leftovers in the fridge.

Personal Notes:
I use chicken breasts when I make this recipe, but you can use any cut of chicken you like. Chicken thighs or even tenders work equally well. How quickly the chicken cooks depends on how thick your cuts are.
