Instructions
Set the oven to 200°C to preheat while making the dish.
Chop the chicken into small portions. You should cut about two to three pieces from each chicken breast.
Marinate the chicken pieces using half of the pesto sauce.
In a frying pan or a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked, spread the remaining pesto sauce over.
Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese on the chicken then bake for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve on a plate and enjoy.
