Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice a pocket into each chicken breast horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff each chicken breast with pesto.
Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, use a spiralizer or vegetable peeler to create zucchini noodles (zoodles).
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Toss the zoodles with the pan juices from the chicken. The residual heat will lightly warm the zoodles without making them soggy.
Serve the pesto-stuffed chicken breasts over the zucchini noodles. Garnish with pine nuts and Parmesan cheese, if desired.
