Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 (24 oz) jar of marinara sauce
- 2 tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1 tsp. fresh cracked pepper
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 1½ cups of italian bread crumbs
- ¾ cup parmesan cheese, divided
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add marinara sauce and chopped basil to a medium bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Butterfly the chicken breasts. Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and top with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a mallet or the backside of a small skillet, pound the chicken breast to approximately ¼ inch thickness. Salt and pepper both sides of the pounded chicken.
- Grab a handful of toothpicks out of the box and place on your workstation.
- Mix bread crumbs and ½ cup of the parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
- In another small bowl, whisk the eggs.
- Take the first piece of chicken and spread a spoonful (1 to 2 tbsp. depending on how saucy you like it) of marinara sauce on it. Add 1 slice of cheese.
- Roll up the chicken tightly and secure the seam with toothpicks. (Be sure to count the number of toothpicks used, so they can be removed before serving.)
- Dip the roll-up in the egg and then the bread crumb mixture. Be sure to coat the roll-up with bread crumb mixture evenly on all sides. Complete with all chicken breasts.
- Pour remaining marinara sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
- Place the breaded chicken roll-ups in the baking dish, seam side down. Top chicken with remaining parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until no pink is visible in the chicken and the juices run clear.
- Serve over whole grain or gluten-free pasta with a side of roasted broccoli or green salad.
