Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Slice tomatoes and cheese and pound the chicken.
- Layer the tomatoes, basil and cheese in the center of a chicken breast. Starting on one edge, pick up the chicken and roll it to close the stuffing inside.
- Place in an oven safe dish and repeat the process with remaining chicken.
- Sprinkle chicken with Tuscan Fantasy Seasoning. Add a slice of tomato, cheese and a piece of basil to the top of each chicken roll. Sprinkle with a little additional seasoning.
Bake at 350° F for 25-30 minutes until chicken is fully cooked. Serve hot.
- Serve hot or chilled as a great side dish!
