Pesto Chicken with Roasted Peppers & Mozzarella
Pesto is one of our favorite shortcut ingredients. A small amount is all that’s needed to transform our creamy mushroom soup into creamy pesto sauce. Top the chicken with roasted peppers and shredded mozzarella for a dish you can have on the table in 30 minutes.

Cooking Directions
- Season the chicken. Heat the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat (Make sure the skillet and butter are hot before adding the chicken- it will jump start the browning and prevent the chicken from sticking.). Add the chicken and cook for at least 3 minutes before turning (if it doesn't turn easily give it another minute on that side) then cook until both sides are well browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
- Add the water to the skillet and heat to a boil, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the soup and pesto and heat to a boil.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Top each chicken breast with 1 piece roasted pepper and 2 tablespoons cheese. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Season to taste.
