Chicken Mozzarella Roll-Ups

Wow............It has been a while since I've made a recipe post.  Needless to say, if I haven't been posting, I probably haven't been cooking too much either.  Which means I've been living la vida fast food.........a lot.  I feel pretty crappy about it but it's been a little crazy at school.  No excuses.  Now that the wonderful week off known as fall break has arrived, I vow that I will be cooking each day and hopefully posting some great new recipes to get the blog caught up.  I made one last night that was terrific......Chicken Mozzarella Roll-Ups!

Here's what you need:

Chicken (not shown, but duh)

Sun dried Tomatoes (look at your package for serving sizes)

6oz Tomato Puree or Tomato Sauce

2oz of Mozzarella Cheese

Basil

Oregano

Salt/Pepper

 

 

First, you need to put your chicken breast in a Ziploc bag and beat it like Michael Jackson.  Ha ha. Sorry, I had to throw one in there to see if you were still paying attention.

 

Next, you are going to layer basil, sun dried tomatoes and cheese on top of the flattened chicken.

Then it time to roll up!  You want to roll the long side over on itself and secure the ends with toothpicks.

 

 

Before you place in the baking dish, put a layer of tomato puree in the bottom of your dish.  Place your chicken seam side down and top with the remaining sauce and remaining cheese. 

 

Bake these babies at 375 degrees for 40 minutes and you have a seriously yummy din-din.  Make sure to pair it with a veggie to keep the total calories for the meal down. 

 

Total counts on these were roughly 295 calories & 13 carbs per serving.  I only made enough for two servings, so if you are working on feeding a family you will need to double the recipe ingredients accordingly.  These things were seriously delicious and I just loved the little surprise of the sun dried tomato on the inside when you cut it up!  Hope you enjoy them!

Happy Eating.
