Pesto cheese filled chicken
Pesto cheese filled chicken
I made this last night for dinner and it was delicious. My husband thought so to. I served it with Portebello Risotto and a green salad with garlic bread. I didn't take a picture of it because I do not have the skill of a chef in rolling the chicken breasts up. I did pound them thin but I find that they tend to fall apart and I don't know why. If anyone has any suggestions or techniques on keeping the breast in tact when pounding them PLEASE let me know.
It was funny I warned everyone before they took a bite to watch out for the toothpicks because I must have had at least 3 to 4 holding each breast together. Once I browned them on the stove they did stay together but rolling them in flour was not a pretty sight.
I reccomend this recipe highly as it was delicious and I hope you have better luck in filling and rolling your chicken breasts than I had.
