1

Heat oven to 400° F. Lightly grease a baking pan large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer.
2

Wash chicken breasts and pat dry. Gently pound the chicken between sheets of plastic wrap to even thickness.
3

In a food processor, pulse the panko and dry bread crumbs with the paprika, salt, and pepper, until well combined.
4

Rub each chicken breast with about 1 to 2 teaspoons of pesto, then press in the crumbs to thoroughly coat. Arrange the chicken in the baking pan and bake for about 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
