Ingredients
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast1/2 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese4 oz of goat cheese1/2 cup (or less) of sun dried tomato pesto sauce1/2 cup of fresh basil finely chopped.
Makes 6 chicken breasts. Great for later in the week.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pound each chicken breast to 1/4 inch thickness. (Alternatively, you could cut a slit in the middle instead of pounding them and later rolling the stuffing inside.)
Combine the pesto, goat cheese and chopped pesto together. (Using a few quick spins in a food processor to combine them works well.)
Spread the combined mixture onto each of the chicken breasts. (It will be a fairly thin spread).
Roll up each chicken breast, using toothpicks to secure them.
Spread the grated parmesan cheese in a flat dish and roll each breast in the cheese. (You may need to pat the cheese to get it to stick.)
Arrange the chicken breasts in a glass casserole dish lined with parchment paper (or sprayed with non-stick spray). Leave space between each breast.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 -50 minutes or until chicken is slightly browned (i.e., light tan) and firm to the touch. (Don't overcook it so that the chicken becomes hard, or it will be a bit dry.)
