Time 40m

Yield 2 breasts, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 chicken breasts
1 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup pesto sauce

Steps:

  • Pound out chicken breasts with meat mallet or rolling pin.
  • Take unseasoned breadcrumbs and add salt, pepper, garlic salt, parmesan cheese, thyme, and any other herbs you desire to the crumbs. (You may decide amounts to your taste, I use about a teaspoon of the spices and a tablespoon or 2 of the parmesan depending on how many breadcrumbs you use).
  • Combine homemade or store bought pesto (I prefer my homeade pesto) with shredded mozzarella cheese in a cup making sure to coat all of the cheese evenly with the pesto.
  • Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture on the pounded out chicken breast.
  • Roll the chicken breast up and secure with toothpicks.
  • Dip the chicken breast in milk and then into the seasoned bread crumbs.
  • Place chicken onto a greased pan and place into a 400°F oven for approximately 20 minutes or until the chicken juices run clear.
