Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, pesto sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Assemble the Bake: Spread the chicken mixture evenly in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. If using, add halved cherry tomatoes over the cheese.
