Number Of Ingredients 3

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 c prepared basil pesto
4 slice thick mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread 2-3 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.
  • 2. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken is nicely browned and juices run clear.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh basil leaves. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • If you don't have pesto, you can make your own. There are many recipes available online.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. It should be cooked through, but still tender and juicy.
  • If you don't have toothpicks, you can use skewers to hold the chicken rolls together.
  • Serve the chicken rolls with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Pesto cheesy chicken rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give pesto cheesy chicken rolls a try.
