Pesto Chicken

-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-salt and fresh ground black pepper for seasoning chicken
-8 ounces basil pesto (I use Classico jarred pesto) 
-1/2-1 cup grated low-fat mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 375F. Trim all visible fat and tendons from chicken pieces, then cut each chicken breast lengthwise into 2 or 3 pieces. (I cut the larger ones into 3 strips and the smaller ones into 2 strips.)

Spray a 9" x 12" baking dish with non-stick spray, then spread half the pesto over the bottom of the dish. Lay chicken strips over the pesto, then spread the rest of pesto over the chicken.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle chicken with grated mozzarella cheese. Put dish back into the oven without foil and broil for approx 5 minutes until cheese is melted and a little browned.
