Creating this mouthwatering Pesto Chicken is simple! Just follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or olive oil.
2. Season Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
3. Add Pesto: Pour the basil pesto evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
4. Add Broth: Pour chicken broth around the chicken to keep it moist during cooking.
5. Top with Tomatoes: Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the pesto-covered chicken.
6. Cover and Cook: Secure the lid on your slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
7. Add Cheese: About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Cover again to allow the cheese to melt.
8. Check for Doneness: Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (75°C), it’s ready to serve!
9. Garnish: If desired, top the finished dish with fresh basil leaves for an extra touch of flavor and color.
10. Serve: Carefully remove the chicken, and serve with your choice of side dishes.

Following these steps will lead you to a flavorful Pesto Chicken that’s sure to impress!
