April's Creamy Chicken for 2

I LOVE coming up with my own recipes!  This one is SOOOOO good!. Packed full of flavor and easy to make! A perfect dish for 2. 

 I wanted to make something different for our anniversary dinner and so I decided to make something with the ingredients I already had.   This one is definitely a keeper!  The chicken was so flavorful, tender and juicy!  I served it with rice and gravy and corn.

April's Creamy Chicken for 2

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt 
Pepper
1/4 c flour
3 tbsps Parmesan Cheese
2 tbsps sun-dried tomato pesto
1 -10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
1 c water

Salt and pepper (to taste) both sides of the chicken.

Mix flour and cheese in a bowl. Dredge chicken in mixture.

Add the pesto and chicken to a skillet and cook on medium-low heat until almost done.  

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix the soup and water.

Remove chicken from skillet.  

Add soup to skillet and stir to mix with drippings from the chicken.  Return chicken to skillet.  Cover and let simmer on low until chicken is done and sauce is reduced; about 20 minutes.
