Pesto Stuffed Chicken Rolls

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Great chicken. I made half a recipe but with two chicken breasts cut horizontally to make four cutlets. Have lots of pesto left for other uses. I did put mozzarella cheese in but it melted out onto the baking dish. Still great! Served with pasta and bread.

Served with pasta and bread , This was such an easy and yet beautiful dish – the kind you make when you want to impress, but don’t have lots of time! used store-bought pesto and added mozzarella cheese before rolling up the chicken I served this with a side of whole wheat spaghetti with marinara and Cheesy Garlic Pull-Aparts (recipe #187260) Dinner was a big hit!
