Inside-Out Chicken Pesto

Sometimes you need to shake up the routine. This is one of those shake ups. And, 4/5 "Om nom nom"s, according to the flock :)

The Foodstuffs

• Two chicken boneless skinless breasts
• One cup breadcrumbs (optional)
• Two eggs, beaten (optional)
• One jar of pesto
• One cup mozzarella cheese
• Sea salt and pepper to taste

The How-You-Do-It

• Pre-heat the oven to 350*.
• Butterfly your chicken breast.
• Lay the chicken breast on a piece of plastic wrap. Sprinkle the top with water and lay another piece of plastic wrap on top.
• Using a meat hammer (or large metal can of food), flatten the chicken breast so that it is 1/4 of an inch thick. 
• Uncover the chicken breast and fill one side with pesto and cheese. 
• Roll the chicken breast up, jellyroll style, and secure with toothpicks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Optional step: Place beaten eggs and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Coat the rolled up chicken breast in egg then coat in breadcrumbs. 
• Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked all the way through.
