Pesto Cheesy Chicken Rolls

 
This is a very simple yet exciting dish your family will love. It's something different from your average chicken recipe.







  • Prep Time: 15 Minutes
  • Cook Time: 50 Minutes
  • Ready In: 1 Hour 5 Minutes
  • Yields: 4 servings


INGREDIENTS


  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
  • 1 cup prepared basil pesto
  • 4 slices low-fat mozzarella cheese



DIRECTIONS


  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of the pesto sauce onto each flattened chicken breast. Place one slice of cheese over the pesto. Roll up tightly, and secure with toothpicks. Place in a lightly greased baking dish.
  3. Bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken is nicely browned and juices run clear.

Yum! I make a similar chicken dish from the South Beach 30 Minute Cookbook that has the same ingredients, without the pounding and rolling.
