In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat the olive oil and swirl to coat pan. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 6 minutes per side, 160 degrees F. Carefully arrange the mozzarella over each piece of chicken, cover and cook 3 to 4 minutes longer, allowing the mozzarella to melt.

Meanwhile, toss half of the pesto with the greens and tomatoes in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Arrange on platters to serve, or serve family style from the bowl.
