Cooking Tips

• Make sure to cut a deep enough pocket in the chicken breast to hold the filling.
• If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the chicken to a baking dish before baking.
• You can use fresh basil instead of dried basil for a more intense flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chicken roll-ups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the roll-ups in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the roll-ups with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
