Steps:
- For Pesto, wash basil and remove stems. In food processor mix basil, garlic, pine nuts, pepper and Parmesan. Blend until smooth and slowly add oil.
- Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness. Place one slice prosciutto and 1 T. pesto on chicken breast. Tuck in ends and roll jelly style. Secure with toothpicks.
- Drizzle with 2 T. lemon juice, chopped garlic and olive oil. You may either grill these or bake at 350 for 30 minute.
- While breasts are cooking make basil cream.
- Sauté shallots in butter. Add wine and bring to a boil.
- Cook until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup Add cream and return to boil. Cook 8- 10 minute or until sauce is reduced to 1 cup.
- Whisk continually, add tomatoes and cook 2 minute Whisk in basil and lemon.
- Cook until heated thoroughly. To thicken sauce add cornstarch mixture slowly.
- Remove toothpick and cut the chicken breasts in slices to show off the center. Drizzle the chicken with sauce.
- **Serve this with your choice of pasta and dbl the sauce, or when it's just Dereck and I, I only make 2 chicken breasts and there is enough sauce for our pasta.

[email protected]I'm a huge fan of pesto, so I was excited to try this recipe. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the pesto stuffing was delicious. The sun-dried tomato cream sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, but overall it was a great dish.
