Ingredients

  • 1 pound cooked chicken breasts shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella chopped (or use mozzarella balls)
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, pesto, mayonnaise, half the Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the chicken mixture in the baking dish.
  • Top with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan on top.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before serving (if you can resist!).

Notes

• Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3 days. That is, if you have any leftovers!
• This reheats beautifully in the oven or microwave.
