Delicious Pesto Cheesy Chicken Rolls Recipe | Easy & Tasty

This delightful dish is perfect for family dinners. It's a departure from your usual chicken recipes, combining the flavors of pesto and gooey mozzarella cheese. Let's get cooking!





Ingredients

- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (pounded to 1/4 inch thickness)

- 1 cup prepared basil pesto

- 4 thick slices mozzarella cheese

- Cooking spray


Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2. Spread the Pesto: Take each flattened chicken breast and spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of pesto sauce on it. Imagine the vibrant green pesto coating the chicken—it's like a flavor hug!

3. Add the Cheese: Lay a slice of mozzarella cheese over the pesto. The cheese will melt into gooey goodness as it bakes.

4. Roll It Up: Roll up the chicken tightly, securing it with toothpicks. Think of it as creating little flavor-packed chicken burritos!

5. Bake: Place your pesto-cheese chicken rolls in the greased baking dish. Bake them uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes. You'll know they're ready when the chicken is beautifully browned and the juices run clear.

6. Serve: Remove the toothpicks before serving. Pair these rolls with a fresh salad or some roasted veggies for a complete meal.
