Chicken Parmesan Roll-Ups

Step 1

Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Take mixture off the heat and stir in half of basil. Pour half of the sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine mozzarella and Parmesan; reserve ½ cup of the mixture. Add remaining basil to remaining cheese. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Top chicken with basil-cheese mixture, leaving 1-inch border at bottom of cutlets. Roll up tightly and arrange, seam side down, in prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Toss bread crumbs with remaining oil in small bowl. Top chicken with reserved cheese, remaining sauce, and bread-crumb mixture. Bake until chicken is cooked through and crumbs are golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts you may have to cook them longer 10-15 minutes longer or when internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. If your breadcrumbs get too brown for your liking after about 15 minutes of cooking cover with foil for the remaining baking time. Serve.
