Place chicken breasts in marinade for 10-15 mins while you prep the tomato sauce.<\/p>\n<p>For the tomato sauce, heat olive oil in a pan, add tomatoes and cook down, add garlic, salt and pepper and cook a bit more.  Add wine (or lemon juice) cook until more liquid is evaporated and sauce is forming.  Add fresh basil and stir and remove from heat and set aside.<\/p>\n<p>For chicken grill breasts on an indoor grill pan on each side until nice grill marks form 4-5 mins each side. Transfer to a place to rest.<\/p>\n<p>Prepare 2 heat safe dishes (I like to use individual gratin dishes for these) place 3 tbsp (45ml) of pesto in the bottom of each gratin dish.  Place chicken breasts on top.. Layer 3 slices of fresh mozzarella on top of chicken. Bake at 400F (200C) for 10-15 mins or until chicken is cooked through.<\/p>\n<p>Reheat tomato sauce slightly if needed. Dollop sauce on top of melted cheese. Garnish with freshly cracked pepper and more basil and serve! <\/p>\n<p>ABOUT THIS CHANNEL<br \/>\nHi! I&#8217;m Beth Le Manach and I believe food tastes better when shared.
