Recipe Introduction
Prep: 12 minutes
Cook: 35 Minutes
Chill: up to 8 hours
Make these rollups early in the day or the night before. All you’ll have to do is pop them in the oven when you’re ready to feast on tender chicken drenched in marinara sauce and oozing with melted cheese.
List of Ingredients
4 (4-ounce) skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 tsp. dried basil
¼ tsp. pepper
¼ tsp salt
4 (1-ounce) part-skim mozzarella string cheese sticks
Cooking spray
1 cup garlic-and herb tomato sauce
Recipe
1. Place each chicken breast half between 2 slices of heavy-duty plastic wrap, pound to ¼ inch. Thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
2. Combine basil, salt, and pepper: sprinkle half of mixture evenly over both sides of chicken.
3. Place 1 string cheese stick across the center of each flattened chicken brest. Roll up chicken jelly roll fashion, starting with short end. Place chicken rollup, seam side down, in an 11x7 inch-baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining half of spice mixture, and coat with cooking spray. Cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours.
4. 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)
