Skinny Baked Pesto Chicken (4 ingredients)
Ingredients
- 1 package chicken breast tenders (you’ll need 8 tenders)
- 1 cup jarred pizza sauce (I used Classico pizza sauce or use your favorite)
- ½ cup Buitoni Reduced-Fat Pesto with Basil, see shopping tips or make homemade pesto
- 4 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spread bottom of a 9 x 9-inch baking pan with ½ cup pizza sauce. Add chicken tenders on top. It’s ok if they are touching. Spread top of each chicken tender with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce. Add 1 tablespoon pesto sauce to each. Using the back of a spoon or your fingers, spread pesto sauce around the top. Cover pan with foil. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Check after 15 minutes since chicken tenders vary in thickness. When ready, remove from oven. Sprinkle each tender with ½ teaspoon Parmesan cheese.
- To serve: From bottom of pan, add 2-3 tablespoons of sauce to each dinner plate. Top with 2 chicken tenders and serve. Serve extra sauce on side or top of chicken, if desired. The sauce is really good!
