Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat; add tomatoes, basil, oregano, artichoke hearts and bell peppers; cook until just hot, then remove from heat. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with Mozzarella cheese; spoon mixture down the center of the pounded chicken breast halves, leaving an inch on each side; roll up, adjusting the filling as you roll so as not to over-stuff. Place rolls on a baking dish, seam sides down; pour Marinara sauce on top. Cover dish with aluminum foil wrap and bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
