Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 chicken breasts
6 ounces goat cheese, log type
6 ounces sun-dried tomato pesto (purchased or homemade)
1/2 cup fresh basil, finely chopped
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated using fine grater

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Trim all visible fat and tendons from chicken breasts. Pound chicken until 1/4 inch thick.
  • Put pesto, goat cheese, and chopped basil in food processor and buzz a few times until mixture is combined but not completely blended.
  • Spread 1/6 of pesto/basil/goat cheese mixture on each chicken breast. Roll up chicken, starting with smallest end, tucking in loose pieces (you can secure with tootpicks if necessary).
  • Put parmesan cheese in flat dish, and roll each rolled up chicken breast in the cheese, patting on so you get as much cheese sticking on as you can.
  • Spray glass casserole dish with nonstick spray and arrange chicken so pieces are not touching. Bake 30-40 minutes, or until chicken is slightly browned and firm, but not hard to the touch.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

This dish was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the stuffing was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but I think I might have overcooked the chicken. I also think the stuffing needed more seasoning. Overall, I would not recommend this recip
