Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 ½ cups finely chopped fresh spinach
2 tablespoons basil pesto, or to taste
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Mix the spinach and pesto together in a bowl; spread half the mixture into the bottom of a glass baking dish. Place the chicken breasts onto the spinach mixture; top with the rest of the mixture. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese has begun to melt and brown, about 15 minutes.

Overall, this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the pesto was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for my taste. I prefer recipes that are simple and easy to follow. I also found the pesto to be a bit too oily.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but I was pleasantly surprised by this recipe. The pesto was very flavorful and not too overpowering. The chicken was also cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the pesto and didn't even notice the spinach. I also like that this recipe is relatively healthy, but still very satisfying.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook chicken, and this recipe definitely fits the bill. The pesto adds a delicious flavor to the chicken, and the sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts add a nice touch of texture. I'll definitely be making this again.

Overall, this recipe was pretty good. The pesto was tasty, but I found the chicken to be a bit bland. I think adding some extra seasoning to the chicken would help improve the flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out a bit dry. Not sure what went wrong, but I'll try adjusting the cooking time next time.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavors were spot on. I think next time I'll try using less oil or maybe even grilling the chicken instead of pan-frying it.

Wow, what a flavorful dish! The spinach pesto really shines through and complements the chicken perfectly. I especially enjoyed the crispy edges of the chicken breasts. Will definitely make this again and experiment with different herbs in the pesto.
