Halloumi Pesto Chicken
An easy, fast, delicious dinner, with minimal prep and tons of flavor!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup pesto sauce
- 1 package halloumi cheese, sliced into 8 slices
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally almost all the way through, and open up like a book. Use your hand to flatten, and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of the pesto sauce on one side of the breasts. Place 2 of the halloumi slices on top of the pesto, and fold the “plain” side over to cover. Transfer the chicken to an ovenproof baking dish and bake for 15 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and vinegar to the dish and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
