- Toss broccoli and oil together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Scatter around chicken on the baking sheet.

I’ve had this recipe saved for years and finally tried it last night. I’m sorry I waited so long! This is the kind of recipe that makes me ask why more people don’t cook from scratch because it’s super easy. I only made two changes because I didn’t have things on hand: fresh, chunky tomato sauce instead of Roma tomatoes and zucchini instead of broccoli. I also used chicken thighs instead of breasts since we like those better. Great and easy dish that can be used for company, too!
This was simply delicious! My hubby can’t have nuts, so I omit them from the pesto. This is huge hit in my house!!
This is sooo good. My family and I get together for dinner on Wednesday; according to my mom, it is the best Wednesday dinner so far!
This was fantastic & flavorful!
No modifications made, other than I probably used a touch more mozzarella. Delicious and easy. You can pile in the broccoli, as it really condenses down upon cooking. Will make again, maybe trying fresh mozzarella next time.
This was very good. I used 6 chicken breasts and 3 1/2 cups of broccoli florets using 2 cookie sheets. Next time I will cut back on the salt. (The cheese contributes quite a bit of salt.)
This is absolutely one of our favorite meals! I have recommended it to several friends.
Delicious as is. Super easy and quick. Will be a regular dish in our household.
So delicious! I cut my large chicken breasts, into thirds, added a large chopped onion to the broccoli and baked for 30 minutes. Followed everything else in the recipe.
Very easy to make and came out great! A crowd pleaser at my house.
Easy to put together for nice weekday dinner.
This recipe was good, but next time I’ll make some changes. My broccoli became a bit overdone…..could be my oven. The pesto was just a little overpowering for me, though my husband loved it. so next time, less pesto for me and a shorter cooking time for the broccoli. thanks for an easy recipe!!
I didn’t have broccoli so I made it with mushrooms, tomatoes and fresh spinach. it was great!
We tried this and loved it! I used Aldi’s brand sundried tomato pesto because that’s what I had on hand and served it over basmati rice, delicious!
This dish is delicious! It took no more than 30 minutes from starting the prep to eating. I’ll be making this again for sure!
Easy to make. Had to make Pesto (recipe also on all recipes). With fresh from the garden tomatoes and basil (pesto), this was easy and delicious. Chicken was tender.
Made with brussel sprouts instead of broccoli – so amazingly good!
My family LOVED this! I used thin chicken and fresh mozzarella thinly sliced. Don’t add oil to broccoli, doesn’t need it from pesto/cheese oils. With the thin cutlets, I did 400 degrees for 20-25 min. Thanks so much! Will make many more times.
So easy, so delicious. Whole family loved it and I felt good about serving something healthy and light. Perfect summer evening meal.
OMG! Made this recipe using a spatchcock chicken. We added small potatoes to the pan. The flavors were unbelievable. I also baked it on our BBQ and the pesto flavor was subtle but present. Really impressed, thank you
This is up with the best dish I have eaten. It was delicious. I didn’t have garlic salt so I used garlic powder. It turned out perfect.
