How to make Chicken Pesto Roll Ups<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

* 2 lbs chicken breasts (4 medium\/large chicken breasts)<\/p>\n

* 1 tsp Garlic Salt (or to taste)<\/p>\n

* 1\/4 tsp Black Pepper (or to taste)<\/p>\n

* 1\/2 cup Pesto sauce (about 8 Tbsp total)<\/p>\n

* 8 oz Mozzarella cheese, shredded, (reserve 2 oz for topping)<\/p>\n

* 2 tomatoes (medium) thinly sliced into 16 rings<\/p>\n

* 1 cup cherry tomatoes optional<\/p>\n

* 1 Tbsp Fresh basil leaves shredded, optional garnish<\/p>\n

* 1 Tbsp olive oil<\/p>\n

* 1 Tbsp unsalted butter<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Preheat oven to 425\u02daF. Cut chicken breast in half lengthwise so you have 8 thin chicken cutlets. Pound each cutlet in a quart sized ziploc bag or between 2 sheets of plastic wrap into 1\/8″ thick cutlets.<\/p>\n

Season both sides of chicken with garlic salt and black pepper.<\/p>\n

Spoon and spread 1 Tbsp pesto in the center of each cutlet, top with 2 thin tomato slices and sprinkle with 2-3 Tbsp mozzarella cheese. Roll the chicken up tightly and seal ends with a toothpick.<\/p>\n

Preheat large oven-safe skillet over medium\/high heat with 1 Tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp butter. Add chicken roll-ups and sear on both sides until golden (4 min per side or 8 minutes total on the stove).<\/p>\n

Sprinkle tops with remaining cheese and 1 cup of cherry tomatoes. Place the skillet on the center rack of oven and bake 425\u02daF for 13-15 minutes (13 min for these these medium chicken breasts and 15 min for larger chicken breasts, or until internal temp of chicken reaches 160\u02daF on instant-read thermometer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
