Simo and Cicci recommend
Store the Pesto Chicken Breast with Cherry Tomatoes and Mozzarella in the fridge for up to two days in a sealed food container.
You can replace the chicken breast with turkey breast, pork loin slices, or veal.
You can use ready-made basil pesto or prepare it at home. In this case, we recommend following our basil pesto recipe for doses and procedure.
As an alternative to basil pesto, you can also try the same recipe using arugula, pistachio or tomato pesto.
You can replace mozzarella with provola or smoked scamorza. For a lactose-free version, you can use lactose-free mozzarella or you can omit it from the ingredients.
For a gluten-free version, you can omit the flour or replace it with rice flour or cornstarch.
Additionally, you can add green olives, black olives, capers, oregano, etc.
