Preheat the oven to 350° F. Season chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper.
OPTIONAL STEP: While the oven is preheating you can heat some olive oil or butter in a skillet. Once hot add the chicken breast and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until caramelized. The chicken should still be raw in the center.
Arrange chicken breasts (seared or raw) onto a baking dish or rimmed baking sheet.
Use a spoon to cover chicken breast with pesto.
Top each chicken breast with 1 thin slice of mozzarella cheese and 2 thinly sliced tomatoes.
Bake for 20- 30 minutes (time will vary based on chicken thickness) or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F. Broil the chicken the final 2 minutes so that the cheese is bubbly and golden. Serve immediately.
