I absolutely love this chicken recipe! It's so easy to make with simple ingredients, but has amazing flavor punch that will make people think you spent all day cooking.
Ingredients
3 large Chicken Breast (free range if possible)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese (grass fed if possible)
1/4 cup Pesto Sauce (plus additional to serve on the side)
10 ounce Goat Cheese (a log)
1 tsp each Salt & Black Pepper
toothpicks
Olive Oil (to oil the pan)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a large baking pan or casserole dish with olive oil, set aside.
Cut each chicken breast in half (the long way, horizontal), to make 6 flat pieces. Place each piece of chicken in between parchment or wax paper. Using a mallet pound each chicken piece until it's thin about 1/4 inches. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
Place a large piece of plastic wrap on the kitchen counter about 24x18 inches. On top of the plastic wrap line the chicken pieces into two rows of three, slightly over lapping each piece to close any gaps as you form a large rectangle. Spread the pesto and parmesan cheese evenly on top of the chicken. Cut the goat cheese log (the long way, horizontally) into two pieces, then lay both pieces onto the chicken making a long cheese log, closer to the edge of the rectangular chicken shape.
Using the plastic wrap as your guide to push the chicken, roll the chicken into a log. Use toothpicks to secure and close the entire length of the chicken and the ends.
Place the chicken roll onto the prepared baking dish and bake for 40-60 minutes until fully cooked through, basting the chicken with the pan drippings a few times throughout the cooking process.
Remove the chicken and allow to sit for about 10 minutes before cutting, this will allow the cheese to set. Remove the toothpicks, slice and enjoy.
