I mentioned last week on Facebook that I made up this recipe and here it is, finally. I give you, Cheesy Pesto Chicken Rolls, a recipe made up by me and packed full of flavor!
No ingredient pic because well, I made it up as I went along, but here is what you’ll need. I am feeding 2 adults and one small child so adjust the recipe as needed.
Ingredients:
- 1 Chicken Breast
- Approx. 4 T. Fresh Pesto (I used this recipe or you could buy some)
- Olive Oil cooking spray (or whatever kind you like)
- 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella
- 1 can Crescent dough
- 1/4 C. Freshly grated Parmesan
Preheat the oven according to crescent dough directions.
1. Cover the chicken in 1 T. of Pesto and marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Warm a non stick skillet and spray with Olive oil cooking spray.
3. Cook the chicken for a few minutes on each side. I like to cut it in to pieces as it cooks so I can see exactly when it’s done. Plus, then all sized get some of the yummy flavor. The pesto will for a nice crust and look a little something like this.
5. Put a big pinch of mozzarella on each crescent, a dollop of pesto on top of that and a piece of chicken on top.
7. Cover the top of each roll with shredded Parmesan.
I made some Alfredo sauce to pour over the top, but found that we really did not need it. I preferred them without the sauce because they had so much flavor on their own.
