👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Cut a pocket into each chicken breast.

Evenly stuff pocket of each chicken breast with 1 slice mozzarella cheese and 1 tablespoon pesto.

Beat together eggs and remaining 1 tablespoon pesto in a bowl.

Dip chicken in egg mixture and then coat with Parmesan cheese.

Place coated chicken breast onto the prepared baking sheet.
