Easy Italian Chicken

One of my friends posted this recipe the other day and I thought it looked really good.  I added some more veggies to it and everyone in my house ate this and loved it!  (Although the kids really didn't eat the veggies!)

 

Ingredients:

 

• 3-4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 4-6 Tablespoons Prepared Pesto
• 1-2 Roma Tomatoes
• 1 squash
• 1 zucchini
• 1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese, grated
•  whole mushrooms
• 2-4 cups of cooked rice
• lemon juice (to taste)

Directions:

• Trim the chicken and lay them in a glass baking dish in a single layer.
• Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the pesto on top of each chicken breast.
•  Cut the roma tomatoes into slices approx 1/2" thick and lay 2 slices on top of each chicken breast.
• Cut the squash and zucchini in half then slice long ways to make thin strips.  Lay these slices over the tomato.
• Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the chicken breasts.
• Lay mushrooms in pan on sides wherever there is room.
• Cover and Bake at 400F for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is done and the juices run clear.
• Bake uncovered for the last 10 minutes. 
• Serve over a bed of rice or a plate of pasta.
• Season the rice with the broth from the chicken and add a little lemon juice as desired.
•  Enjoy!
