A sophisticated sounding dish that uses ready-made pesto sauce as a time-saver. A great special occasion or company dish. Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken breast halves |
1/2 cup gruyere cheese, grated |
1/3 cup pesto sauce |
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted |
1 teaspoon green onion, minced |
flour |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Pound chicken breasts between sheets of waxed paper. Mix gruyere cheese, pesto, pine nuts, and green onions in a small bowl.
3. Spread 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on top of each chicken breast and roll tightly. Dredge chicken breasts in flour. Saute chicken breasts in heated oil at medium-high heat until golden brown, turning occasionally, for approximately 6 minutes.
4. Place chicken in pan and bake until chicken is tender and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
