Time 16m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 ounces cheddar cheese
4 cherry tomatoes
2 teaspoons pesto sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill by turning it to high.
  • Sandwich the chicken breasts between two plastic food bags and beat them firmly with a rolling pin or base of a saucepan to flaten them by a third.
  • heat the oil in a non stick frying pan, add the chicken and cook for 2 minutes on each side until golden.
  • Grate the cheese and quarter the tomatoes and mix the two together.
  • Take the chicken out of the pan and wipe out the oil so that it doesn't spit under the grill later.

  • Put under the hot grill for a minute or so until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

Pizza toppings are baked inside flaky crescent layers, and then sliced into triangles perfect for dipping in pizza sauce or ranch dressing. Our favorite dip for these melts is ranch dressing with blue cheese crumbles.
