Ingredients

3 chicken breast horizontally cut and pounded flat into cutlets
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
1 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated

Pesto:
2 cups fresh basil leaves loosely packed
3 whole cloves garlic
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2 Take one piece of chicken and horizontally cut it in half. Take the half and place it in between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound it flatter. Finish with all the chicken breast.

3 Lay out the chicken cutlets and sprinkle them on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

4 Spread 1 tablespoon of the pesto mixture onto the chicken breast along about 1/2 tablespoon of sundried tomatoes. Roll up tightly and secure with toothpick.

5 In an oven safe dish, heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil on the stove top over medium high heat. Add in the chicken and let brown on all sides. About 6-8 minutes.

6 Using the leftover pesto, mix it together with cream and leftover sundried tomatoes. Pour over the chicken.

7 Remove from heat, sprinkle with cheeses and place in oven. Bake for 15-20 additional minutes until chicken safely reaches a temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Pesto:
1 Measure the fresh basil leaves by loosely packing them into a measuring cup. Place the leaves into a food processor or blender.

2 Add in garlic, parmesan cheese, olive oil, and pine nuts. Blend until fairly smooth.

3 Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 to 7 days.
