- In 12-inch skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil on medium until hot. Add chicken and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until browned on both sides, turning over once.
- Top chicken in pan with mozzarella slices; cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese melts and chicken is no longer pink throughout.
- To serve, on each of 4 dinner plates, place 1 slice onion, 2 slices pepper, 1 slice tomato, and 1 piece chicken and mozzarella; drizzle with pesto mixture.
