Pesto Mushroom Chicken

This is a simple and delicious meal that will feed a crowd.  I served it on a bed of angel hair pasta and the meal was perfect.  While it may not be my kids favorite meal (anything green seems to be quite the deter-ant) TJ and I love it!!


6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup pesto
1 tsp olive oil
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
6 slices provolone cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Brush chicken with butter and coat completely with bread crumbs.  Place chicken into a greased 9x13 pan and bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

While chicken is baking, heat olive oil in a skillet and saute mushrooms until they give up their juices.  When chicken is done, spoon pesto sauce evenly over the chicken and top with the mushrooms.  Cover each breast with a slice of provolone cheese and bake in the oven until the cheese is melty and golden brown.  Serve over a bed of pasta with some additional pesto sauce.
