Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to about 1/4-1/2 inch thick
  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup basil pesto

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x13x2-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Lay the chicken breasts out on a flat surface. In a small bowl combine salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder and whisk together. Rub the spices over the chickens.
  3. Spread about 1/4 cup pesto onto each chicken breast, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Gently roll up chicken breasts so that the pesto and cheese are inside the chicken roll.
  4. Place chicken rolls in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Top with additional pesto and cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is temps out to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
