Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Lay a chicken breast on a cutting board with the tapered end pointing at you. Using a sharp knife held horizontally to your work surface, begin slicing the chicken breast in half, starting at the thicker end of the breast and slowly working towards you, leaving an outer edge connected so you can open it like a book. Butterfly all the breasts in this manner and set in the fridge until ready to roll.
- Cut six 1/4-inch-thick slices from the mozzarella, then finely chop the rest.
- To build the pizza rolls: Open the butterflied chicken breasts so they lay flat on your cutting board. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Top with some spinach leaves, sausage, sun-dried tomatoes and chopped mozzarella. Roll the chicken around the filling and tuck into itself so that the seam is facing down. Place the rolled chicken in the prepared baking dish, seam-side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining chicken and fillings.
- Bake the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, heat up the pizza sauce. About 3 minutes before the chicken is done, top each piece with a slice of mozzarella.
- Spoon the warm pizza sauce over the chicken and garnish with the Parmesan and basil.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Cut the mozzarella into 1/2-by-1/2-by-2-inch-long sticks and set aside. Mix together the Parmesan, oregano, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, salt and garlic together in a bowl; set aside.
- Pat the pizza dough into a 16-by-8-inch rectangle with a long side facing you. Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel, cut the dough in half lengthwise. Quarter each piece so you have eight 4-by-4-inch squares. Spread 1/2 teaspoon ricotta in the middle of a square and place a piece of mozzarella on top. Fold the dough over the cheese to completely encase it. Starting from the center, pinch the seams closed, carefully pushing out any air as you go. Repeat with the remaining dough and cheese.
- Working one at a time, put a piece of dough into the seasoning mixture and press down firmly to coat all sides. On a clean, dry work surface roll the dough gently but firmly into a torpedo shape that is about 10 inches long. Tie the dough into a knot at each end and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pieces of stuffed dough. Brush with the butter and sprinkle on any remaining seasoning mix. Put in a warm place and let rise until puffy, about 30 minutes
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Transfer the bones to the oven and bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown all over, about 10 minutes. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
- Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise, leaving one side attached. Open breasts to lay flat, resembling a butterfly.
- On one half of each breast, layer 1/4 of the mushrooms. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon each of onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley flakes over each one. Season with pepper, then sprinkle about 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese over top. Fold the ungarnished sides over the toppings and secure the edges with toothpicks to hold them together while baking. Transfer to the prepared baking pan.
- Mix condensed soup with milk and pour over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar over top, then add bread crumbs to cover each breast.
- Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
