Bacon Pesto Chicken
Our last day in Austin, we ate at Kerbey Lane on our way out of town. I squee'd over gluten free gingerbread pancakes (SO GOOD), and HRH had Bacon Pesto Chicken. I only had one taste, but it was so good, it became clear that we'd have to make up our own version. Here's what we did:
4 thick cut slices of peppered bacon
2 large chicken breasts
2 T basil pesto (we used Cucina Fresca brand)
4 slices of fresh mozzarella
I'm not sure it's as transcendently yummy as the Kerbey Lane version, but it took almost no time to assemble and was really really good.

- Bake the chicken for 30 min and remove from oven
- Cover the tops of the chicken breasts with the cheese slices. Cover the cheese slices with the pesto.
- Put the baking dish back in the oven for 15 minutes.
