Chicken with Pesto and Mozzarella Cheese

4 5 ounces each, skinless, boneless, skinless breasts
1 1/2 teaspoons store bought pesto
1 ounce skim milk mozzarella cheese, sliced into 8 thin strips
olive oil cooking spray

Preheat oven to 375F.

Cut a pocket in each breast, being careful not to cut thorough the chicken.

Place 1/4 teaspoon pesto in each pocket and add 2 thin slices of the cheese. Using toothpicks close the pockets and place on a baking sheet.

Continue the process until you have all 4 chicken breasts readied for the oven. Spread the remaining 1/2 teaspoon pesto on top of the chicken breasts and coat with cooking spray.

Bake the chicken for about 20 minutes until cooked through. Allow to set for 5 minutes, before serving. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
