Top marks for an easy recipe even one you can make ahead and then just pop into the oven. I used a genova pesto and was wishing I handn't added the salt to the chicken (I won't next time) but on the other hand the DM who is a salt fiend absolutely loved it. I baked initially for 25 minutes at 170C fan forced and then 5 minutes to melt the cheese (I used a pregrated pizza mix of mozzarella, parmesan cheddar). Would also like to trial it with a tomato pesto (almost a faux par chicken parmesan without the crumbs on the chicken). Thank you nemokitty, made for Make My Recipe Spring Edition.
