My husband is an avid hunter, so we enjoy lots of game, But when I cook chicken, this is the recipe I turn to. Pesto, cheese and mushrooms make it special. —Jennifer Tomlinson, Hamilton, Montana
Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, cook chicken in 1 tablespoon oil for 5-10 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.
Meanwhile, for pesto, combine the basil, nuts, garlic, salt and Parmesan cheese in a blender or food processor; cover and process until well blended. While processing, gradually add remaining oil in a stream. Spoon over chicken. Top each with a slice of mozzarella. Sprinkle mushrooms around chicken. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and mushrooms are tender.

This was wonderful and so quick and easy to make. A great meal for the summer. I poached the chicken. Then I fried the mushrooms in butter, put the chicken on the mushrooms, covered with pesto and mozzarella, covered the pan and left it over low heat until the cheese melted. Delicious. Nice enough to serve for company.
