Caprese Chicken Bake on a bed of baby spinach is a quick and healthy meal. You can make it in one baking dish or put them in individual baking trays.

4 chicken breasts

4 Tablespoons pesto

4Use a spoon to cover chicken with pesto.

5Top each chicken breast with 1 slice of mozzarella cheese and sliced tomatoes.

Easy, delicious and pretty to look at. I used the mustard greens that I had on hand. Worked out great.
