Very easy to make using bottled pasta sauce. From Cooking Light. Ingredients:
4 ounces goat cheese, softened |
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil, divided |
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves |
1 (25 1/2 ounce) jar italian herb fat free pasta sauce |
3 whole garlic cloves |
3 cups hot cooked fettuccine (about 6 ounces uncooked pasta) |
Directions:
1. Combine goat cheese, 2 T basil, and minced garlic, set aside.
2. Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy duty plastic wrap, and pound each half to a 1/4 inch thickness using a mallet or a rolling pin. Divide the cheese mixture evenly among breast halves. Roll up jelly roll fashion. Tuck in sides; secure each roll with wooden toothpicks.
3. Heat the pasta sauce and whole garlic cloves in a large skillet over medium heat, add chicken. Cover and cook for 25 minutes or until chicken is done. Serve over pasta. Garnish with 1 T basil.
