For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before rolling up the chicken. If you don't have toothpicks, you can use kitchen twine to tie the rolls. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Jul 7, 2024Next time I'm going to try using a different kind of pesto, maybe a sun-dried tomato pesto.

Dec 5, 2021Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will be dry. I checked it after 40 minutes and it was perfect.
