Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on both sides remove to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, reduce the heat to low, add the onion, and sauté until tender do not brown.

Stir in the cilantro pesto, and serve.
