Pan seared chicken thighs are smeared with a hearty pesto sauce, then topped with thinly sliced tomato and bubbly mozzarella cheese. Serve these with zucchini ribbons or our eggplant based monkey breads.
Any time I’ve ever tried caprese style chicken it was made with chicken breasts, which too easily turn dry. With the chicken thighs you don’t have to worry about that, these come out tender and juicy. The toppings are really just a bonus.
When I calculated the nutrition I left in all ingredients used, but quite a bit of the olive oil is left at the bottom of the pan when you complete the baking. You could measure it and remove that number for the olive oil used, or try and use it up for a side dish. (Cook up some eggplant pasta perhaps.)
