For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in pesto for 30 minutes prior to baking. Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Feel free to substitute other vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, or asparagus. To prevent the broccoli from burning, you can add it to the sheet pan halfway through the cooking time. If you don't have Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes halved work well.

Season the chicken breasts generously with garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared sheet pan. (3 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Spread approximately 1.5 tablespoons of pesto over each chicken breast, ensuring an even coating. Top with the thinly sliced Roma tomatoes and then sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese. (5 minutes)

Bake in the preheated oven until the broccoli is tender and slightly browned, and the chicken is cooked through, approximately 15-20 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) using an instant-read thermometer. (20 minutes)
