So I kind of just developed this one...and it turned out pretty tasty!! It goes great with oven roasted potatoes, but cous cous would be great or even adding a little marinara and angel hair pasta would work.
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
- Shredded Italian Blend Cheese
- 4 slices of mozzarella
- Bread crumbs, Italian Seasoning, Crushed Red Pepper - mix together for outside coating, no particular amounts, just to desired taste
- Jarred (or fresh if you want to make your own) Pesto
- Mixture of egg and milk to moisten chicken
- Olive Oil
- Toothpicks
Spread thin layer of pesto on one side of chicken
Cover pesto layer with slice of mozzarella cheese
Sprinkle desired amount of Italian Cheese Blend onto mozzarella
Carefully roll to enclose cheese
'Seal' with toothpicks
Dip into egg/milk mixture
Transfer to bowl with bread crumb/spice mixture and coat chicken breast
If desired, you can sear the bottom of the chicken in a pan with heated olive oil, this just adds some crispiness to the outside
Grease pan lightly with olive oil before baking in oven
Bake in oven at 375 for 30-45 minutes, until cheese is melted and chicken is done.
