"I love the contrast of the the tomatoes against the chicken. The pesto keeps the panko on the chicken and adds flavor. Nice light meal. I like it served with green beans or asparagus."

Step 1
Preheat the broiler to high.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium high heat.

Sprinkle the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the chicken to the pan; cook for 5 minutes on each side. Remove the pan from the heat.

Combine the panko, cheese, and butter in a bowl. Spread the pesto evenly over the chicken in the pan; top with the panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Place in the oven; broil for 2 minutes or until browned.
