Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400º F.
Step 2
Cut chicken horizontally, but do not cut all the way through and open them up. Spread interior of each chicken with 2 tablespoons of pesto each. Then evenly divide the chopped spinach over the pesto. Fold the chicken together to close it.
Step 3
Heat an oven proof skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Carefully add chicken. Sear on each side for 2-3 minutes. Finish baking in the oven for about 8 minutes or until the meat reaches 165º F.
Step 4
Take the skillet out of the oven and place tomatoes and cheese. Put the skillet back in the oven until cheese starts to bubble, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
For the dipping sauce, combine yogurt and pesto in a small bowl. Serve over the chicken or on the side.
