For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a thin layer of pesto to the inside of the chicken breasts before adding the cheese mixture. To prevent the cheese from melting out during baking, make sure the chicken breasts are tightly sealed. Serve with a side of your favorite pasta and a crusty loaf of Italian bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
