Balsamic Chicken Bake

This is a perfect dish for meal prepping! Lots of flavor and the toppings keep the chicken moist even after reheating, plus it’s still clean.  I got the inspiration from Pinterest but changed it up just a bit.  Then I put it on top of some steamed asparagus for more veggies 🙂  Gotta fuel them legs after my long run this morning.

The sauce that you put on top is basically a pesto, but it’s quick and easy to throw together and stick it in the oven.  If you’re making it for dinner after work you could cut up the tomatoes and make the sauce, then throw it all in the baking dish when you get home.
