How many awesome things can we put on one succulent chicken breast? Let's count. Number one: healthy mineral-y spinach, which does a body good. Number two: tart juicy tomatoes, giving flavor to cuisines worldwide for a millennia and more. The third thing we top our chicken with is gooey good mozzarella. And last, but not least, an herbaceous dollop of basil pesto. How many things can we pile on delicious chicken? Let's start with four.
