Pesto Chicken with Mozzarella

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 T. Basil Pesto
1 1/2 c. Classico Tomato & Basil pasta sauce
1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
2 T. shredded parmesan cheese
salt & pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse chicken and pat dry, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat pesto in a large skillet and cook until starting to melt. Add chicken and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes to lightly brown each side. Spread half of the pasta sauce in the bottom of an 11x7" baking dish. Add chicken to the dish and pour remaining sauce over the top. Bake for 20 minutes then sprinkle with cheeses and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve over hot, cooked pasta. (Makes 4 adult-sized servings.)
