Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast, boneless, skinless
- 1 tablespoon Fustini's Pesto olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 12 ounces smoked cheddar cheese, freshly grated

- 2 teaspoons Fustini's Parmesan Spice blend
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Directions
- In a medium skillet, heat olive oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper and sauté, until internal temperature reaches 165 F, turning once.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, grated cheese and garlic. Stir until combined and the cheeses are thoroughly mixed. Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, chicken, pesto, salt and pepper. If you want more pesto flavor, stir in a little more! Scoop the mixture into an 8-inch pie plate or baking dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the dip is bubbly and golden on top. Serve immediately with baguette slices, chips or crackers.
