Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Trim any excess fat from the chicken and place between pieces of parchment paper.
Pound chicken to even thickness (approximately 1/2 inch) with a meat mallet.
Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper and transfer to a baking dish.
(General cooking hint: you want the chicken to fit snugly for best cooking – you do not want a lot of extra space in the pan)
Spread pesto sauce over the top of the chicken breasts and cook for about 20 minutes than add the sliced tomatoes and Parmesan cheese if desired.
Continue cooking until chicken is cooked through (about 15-20 additional minutes).
Add slices olives as garnish if desired, and serve.
