Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless chicken thighs in a baking dish. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.

      Add Pesto: Spread the basil pesto evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated.

        Add Cherry Tomatoes: Distribute the halved cherry tomatoes around and on top of the chicken, adding a pop of color and flavor.

          Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken and tomatoes.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

              Serve: Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this dish with a side of crusty bread or over a bed of rice.
