Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375. Spray a shallow baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Lay chicken breasts out on a flat surface. In a small bowl combine salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder and whisk together. Sprinkle seasoning over chicken, flipping to get both sides.
- Spread about 1/4 cup pesto onto each chicken breast. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Gently roll up chicken breasts so that the pesto and cheese are on the "inside" of the chicken roll. Place chicken rolls in a single layer in prepared baking dish. Top with additional pesto and cheese if desired. Bake 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
