Cheesy Pesto Chicken Bake (Keto & Low Carb!)

Ingredients

• 4-6 basil leaves (chopped)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees, and grease a large baking dish.

3. Lay the chicken breasts flat into your greased baking dish, and top them with the cream cheese pesto mixture.
4. Top with 1 or more cups of shredded mozzarella cheese.
5. Bake uncovered in the center rack of the oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
6.  
7. Garnish with your fresh chopped tomatoes and basil. Enjoy!
