Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 6 oz each
  • 8-12 fresh basil leaves

  • 1 Tablespoon Stacey Hawkins Tuscan Fantasy Seasoning

  • 2 C fresh tomato slices

  • Cheese of your choice: 8 slices fresh mozzarella or if on Optavia 5 & 1 use 4 T fresh grated parmesan cheese or 2 Laughing Cow Mozzarella Wedges PER CHICKEN BREAST (both get counted as condiments.)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Slice tomatoes and cheese and pound the chicken.

  2. Layer the tomatoes, basil and cheese in the center of a chicken breast. Starting on one edge, pick up the chicken and roll it to close the stuffing inside.
  3. Place in an oven safe dish and repeat the process with remaining chicken.
  4. Sprinkle chicken with Tuscan Fantasy Seasoning. Add a slice of tomato, cheese and a piece of basil to the top of each chicken roll. Sprinkle with a little additional seasoning.

  5. Bake at 350° F for 25-30 minutes until chicken is fully cooked. Serve hot.

  6. Serve hot or chilled as a great side dish!
