Chicken Pesto
Ingredients
Food Safety
Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.

Steps
Heat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Put chicken pieces one at a time in between plastic wrap or waxed paper and gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until ½-inch (1.25 cm) thick.
Mix pesto and mayonnaise together and put in a dish. Mix together bread crumbs and cheese and put on a plate. Dip chicken into pesto mixture then dip in bread crumb mixture. Place on baking sheet.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until juices run clear or internal temperature is 165°F (74°C) and coating is golden brown.
