Tonight's gourmet dinner (gourmet in comparison to my usual meals of late: toast and pizza haha) is baked chicken stuffed with mozzarella and pesto. I laid out thin chicken breasts.
Then I spread a fine layer of pesto and mozzarella cheese on top, and rolled them up.
I dipped them into a beat egg and bread crumbs before putting them into a casserole dish. Finally I topped the dish with parmesan cheese and let it bake for 25 minutes at 375 F. Here is the finished product:
