Preparation

Step 1

Combine basil, salt, and pepper: sprinkle half of mixture evenly over both sides of chicken. Place 1 string cheese stick across the center of each flattened chicken breast. Roll up chicken jelly roll fashion, starting with short end. Place chicken rollup, seam side down, in an 11×7 inch-baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining half of spice mixture, and coat with cooking spray.
Cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours (not necessary to chill if you don’t have time). Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Pour tomato sauce over chicken. Bake uncovered, at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until chicken is done and tomato sauce is thoroughly heated. Yield 4 servings (serving size 1 rollup)
