Ingredients:

Serving

3 whole chicken breasts boneless & skinless
1 cup fresh basil leaves, lightly packed
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 1/2 tbsp butter or margarine
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Directions:

Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and firmly pound with mallet until approx 1/4 thick. Cover and chill while making pesto.
In blender or food processor, combine basil, cheese, oil and garlic and whirl until it becomes a thick paste.
Spoon equal portions of pesto onto each chicken breast. Roll up each breast to enclose pesto and secure with toothpick.
In 12-14 fry pan, melt butter in oil over medium-high heat. Dip each chicken roll in flour, shake off excess, and add to pan. Cook, turning as needed, until golden brown and meat is opaque in center, 6 to 8 minutes.
