Directions
Basil Pesto Stuffed Chicken Breasts With Sun-Dried Tomato Cream, You might have trouble pounding the chicken flat enough to make the jelly-roll presentation, but that’s ok just fold it over once to make it look like a big clam :), I can’t give this whole recipe another star since I didn’t make the sun dried tomato cream sauce My garden had produced lots of tomatoes so used them in a fresh sauce with shallots, white wine, basil and a touch of lemon juice However, I did make the chicken as written and if the recipe had been just for that, would give it another star I had my own pesto already made in the freezer so used that The chicken rolls came out of the oven looking a little pale, so we heated up the cast iron skillet and browned them Next time I make this, and I will, I’m going to save myself a pan and sear the chicken in the cast iron skillet first and then put the whole thing into the oven to pan roast
