Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Basil Pesto

    In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the sliced mushrooms with chopped rosemary over medium heat until they are tender and slightly golden, about 5-6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving plate, layer the sliced chicken, spread a generous amount of basil pesto over the chicken, top with mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, fontina cheese, and sautéed mushrooms.

  5. 5

    Final Touch

    Place the assembled dish under a broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheeses are melted and bubbly. Serve warm.
