Pizza Chicken Rollups
Pizza Chicken Rollups are a family-friendly, waist-friendly meal that can be on the table in as little as 30 minutes. No take out required.
Ingredients
- 3 6 ounce boneless skinless (tasteless) chicken breasts (cut in half laterally and lightly pounded to be of even thickness)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- For the filling sauce
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 ounces roasted red pepper jarred or do it yourself
- 1- ounce sun-dried tomato pack in oil, rinsed and drained
- For the Inside
- what was in my rendition
- 4-6 slices turkey pepperoni
- 6 large fresh basil leaves
- 6 ounces fresh mozzarella cut into slices
- in Brian's, not mine sauteed mushrooms
- To Finish
- 8 ounces jarred or homemade pizza sauce or marinara
- 3 ounces fresh mozzarella cut into thin slices
- Fresh basil torn or in a chiffonade, optional
Instructions
- Make the Inside Sauce: Place the roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomato, extra virgin olive oil, Italian seasoning into the work bowl of a food processor, and blend until well mixed. Set aside.
- Heat oven to 400 °F Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper; spread the red pepper/sun-dried tomato mixture semi thickly over the top of each.
- Set your desired fillings aside. (This is good to not have cross-contamination of the chicken and fillings which will probably cookout anyway, but hey, why take chances?) Place your desired fillings inside the chicken breast and roll to enclose.
- Put a thin layer of pizza or marinara sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish, place the chicken pizza rolls, seam side down on top; then top with more sauce along with a layer of mozzarella cheese. Place in oven and cook, 20 minutes or until cooked through.
- Let rolls set for 5 - 10 minutes, slice and serve with sauce.
