Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.

Pat each chicken breast dry with paper towels. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of the pesto sauce onto each flattened chicken breast. Place diced cheese over the pesto. Roll up tightly, and secure with toothpicks. Dip chicken into egg and then roll in breadcrumbs. Place seam side down in a lightly greased baking dish.

Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken is 155 degrees.
