Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.33 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 8 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken until it's about 1/4-inch thick.
In a food processor, combine sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Pulse until you achieve a coarse paste consistency.
Spread an even layer of the tomato mixture onto each flattened chicken breast, leaving a small border around the edges.
Carefully roll each chicken breast lengthwise into a tight roll, securing each roll with 2 toothpicks to prevent unrolling.
Brush the outside of each chicken roll with the remaining olive oil, then sprinkle with the remaining salt, pepper, and paprika for additional flavor.
Place the chicken rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken rolls from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks.
Slice the rolls into pinwheels and serve warm with your favorite side dish or salad.
