Submitted by MarieRynr

"A refreshing change to grilled chicken, very tasty and ideal for something good but fast after a day at work."

• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 ounces cheddar cheese
• 4 cherry tomatoes
• 2 teaspoons pesto sauce

directions

1. Preheat the grill by turning it to high.
2. Sandwich the chicken breasts between two plastic food bags and beat them firmly with a rolling pin or base of a saucepan to flaten them by a third.
3. heat the oil in a non stick frying pan, add the chicken and cook for 2 minutes on each side until golden.
4. Grate the cheese and quarter the tomatoes and mix the two together.
5. Take the chicken out of the pan and wipe out the oil so that it doesn't spit under the grill later.

7. Put under the hot grill for a minute or so until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

LOVED IT! Looks good and tastes good. I had to fry mine a little longer as I did not pound thin enough. I aspire to making mine look as good as yours. Will make again. Thanks
