Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • chicken breasts (flattened individually)
  • pesto
  • mozzarella (grated)
  • grated Parmesan
  • breadcrumbs
  • garlic (chopped)
  • onions (chopped)
  • tomato sauce (canned)
  • chicken stock cubes
  • white wine (optional)
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 pinch of pepper
  • chopped fresh parsley

Method

  1. Saute garlic and onions. Add tomato sauce, few splashes of white wine, chicken bouillon cubes and your favourite dried herbs like oregano, thyme and basil leaves. Simmer 10-15 minutes until sauce is slightly reduced.
  2. Season lightly each flattened chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then spread with basil pesto and a generous amount of mozzarella and parmesan.
  3. Roll up each stuffed chicken breast and dredge on all sides with bread crumbs.
  4. In a flat baking dish, splash a few tablespoons of the tomato sauce in the bottom. Arrange the rolled up chicken nicely and bathe with the remaining tomato sauce. Bake 20-30 minutes or until chicken is done.
  5. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and enjoy with your favourite green salad and wine.
