Instructions:

1. Add olive oil to a skillet on medium high heat.

2. Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, then add them to the pan.

3. Brown the chicken on both sides for a few minutes until golden brown, then remove from the pan and set aside.

4. Lower the heat to medium, then add sliced onions and sauté for a minute.

5. Add the tomatoes. You can use sun-dried or fresh cherry tomatoes - whatever you prefer. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened.

6. Add salt and crushed red chili flakes, then add the pesto.

7. Sauté the pesto and veggies for a minute, then add the chicken broth and cream.

8. Bring the sauce to a boil, then add back the chicken (with any juices) and lower the heat to a simmer. Let the chicken finish cooking in the sauce- about 5-10 minutes.

9. Top each chicken breast with fresh mozzarella, then cover the pan until the cheese has melted.

10. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve with your favorite sides.
