Ingredients
- 1–pound chicken tenders, or chicken breasts cut into tenders
- 8–10 ounces cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons mayo
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
- 6 ounces mozzarella pearls
- Balsamic glaze
- 6–8 fresh basil leaves, sliced chiffonade
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or spray with a cooking oil spray
2. In a large bowl, combine the mayo and pesto. Add in the chicken tenders and toss in the sauce to evenly coat
3. Place the cherry tomatoes onto the baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Use your hands to toss the tomatoes to coat them all. Arrange the chicken tenders on the sheet pan so they are not touching, and the cherry tomatoes are around the chicken
4. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is slightly golden and the tomatoes are slightly blistered
5. Optional: in the last 5 minutes of baking, add the mozzarella pearls to the sheet pan around the chicken to slightly melt them
6. Once done, remove the baking sheet, add the mozzarella if you haven’t already, and drizzle the entire sheet pan with the balsamic glaze. Sprinkle the sliced basil over the sheet pan and serve over arugula salad or with roasted vegetables
