Number of Servings: 5

Ingredients

    5 boneless, skinless, thin cut chicken breasts
    1 tsp sea salt
    1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1 tsp Italian seasoning blend
    2 1/2 tbsp basil pesto
    5 slices of prosciutto
    1 cup of shredded mozzarella
    24 ounces of marinara sauce

Tips

Do not use color toothpicks to secure the chicken because the color from the toothpick will bleed into the chicken.


Directions

Rinse and pat dry each chicken breast. Season both sides of chicken with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and italian seasoning blend. Spread basil pesto evenly on top of each chicken breast. Lay one slice of prosciutto on top of each chicken breast. Sprinkle half of mozzarella cheese equally over each chicken breast and roll chicken up overlapping the ends. Secure ends together with two toothpicks. Pour half of marinara sauce on the bottom of the crockpot and place chicken on top of marinara. Pour remaining marinara over the chicken and sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top of chicken. Place lid on top of crockpot and cook for 5 hours on the low temperature setting. To serve, remove toothpicks from chicken, pool marinara sauce in the center of a plate and cut the chicken in half for a nice presentation.
