Nutrition & Calorie Comments  

I made the dish with some of the recommended changes such as adding garlic salt and cooking in the oven.
This was easy and I even made the pesto from scratch but it was really bland. I sprinkled garlic salt on top to make it edible.
Seems a little high in fat
I subbed in a slice of muenster cheese cut up like shredded cheese for the mozz + homemade pesto. I added paprika, garlic salt, cayenne pepper, salt + pepper. It was DELICIOUS and I will make it again (but next time, with actual mozzarella). The cayenne really brought it to the next level.
So I cut the chicken breast in half and pounded them semi flat. I then wrapped the pesto mixture in the chicken & wrapped them w/ butcher twine. I used 1 tsp of garlic salt, 1 tsp of thyme, 1 tsp of basil, 1 tsp of oregano, 1 tsp of papirka & pepper to taste mixed in 3 tblspn olive oil for marinade.
I also add chargrilled red pepper and omit the mozarella. Also, I find it very useful to have all the nutrition details.
