Preheat oven to 400.

In a blender or food processor blend basil, olive oil, vinegar, Parmesan cheese, almonds, salt and pepper to make the pesto sauce.

Cut the chicken lengthwise to create thinner chicken cutlets. Add some olive oil to a pan on medium heat and cook until browned on each side for a few minutes. Place chicken in a casserole dish and top the chicken with half of the pesto sauce. Bake for 10 minutes.

Flip chicken and add the rest of the pesto sauce. Bake for an additional 10 minutes.
