Equipment
- 1 9x13 Ceramic Dish
Ingredients
- 1.25-1.3 Pound Trader Joe's Pesto Genovese Chicken Breast Package
- 1 Cup Baby Tomatoes
- ¼ Cup Trader Joe’s Julienne Sliced Sun Dried Tomatoes
- Balsamic Glaze Drizzled
- 4-6 Oz Burrata
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
Optional to Garnish:
- 3-4 Fresh Basil Leaves Shredded
- ¼ Cup Pine Nuts Toasted
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 400 F and set your rack to the middle position.
- Add your pre-marinated pesto chicken breast to a ceramic baking dish. Spread the chicken out so that it's in an even, single layer. Then add in your washed baby tomatoes on top in an even layer, followed by your sun-dried tomatoes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, to taste.
- Bake your chicken for 22-26 minutes or until your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. I highly recommend using a meat thermometer for this.
- Once your chicken is cooked through, grab your container of burrata cheese and pinch off pieces of burrata, placing them on top of the chicken breasts in an even layer throughout the dish.
- Drizzle with some balsamic glaze in an even layer, top with shredded basil and toasted pine nuts. Serve with white rice, brown rice, or roasted potatoes for a more filling and satisfying meal. Feel free to also pair with a side salad for some additional fiber.
