Chicken Parmesan Roll-ups

Well today was not my usual relaxing Monday because I had a training to attend and then decided to do an assessment after. On a positive note it was in the Columbus office, which is five minutes from my house! I know why don't I work in that office!! Someday maybe! Erin and I did the gym after then home to cook! While cooking I was thinking how nice it was to eat dinner at normal people time!! Eating dinner is probably my favorite time of the day for many reasons. One I love hearing from Chris how the dish is and love seeing him so happy when he eats it! Yes we eat dinner at our little coffee table, but we have the time to catch up and chat about the day! That is one thing I am very grateful for my parents instilling in me. We ALWAYS ate dinner at the table together everyday! I honestly do not remember a time when we didn't! Can't wait to some day pass this tradition on to my own family. So today was a chicken day. I had two pieces of chicken breast left, and again, I did not have a clue what to make! I usually am not a big fan of chicken Parmesan, but a chicken Parmesan roll-up interested me, and turned out to be great!!

Chicken Parmesan Roll Ups
--I did two large pieces of chicken and did not really measure anything, but I will give you the recipe I found.

1/4c olive oil
1 onion, chopped fine
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 can Italian styled diced tomato's (I used a jar of spaghetti sauce)
1/2c chopped fresh basil--- I just used some dry basil
1-1/2c shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2c Parmesan Cheese
6 thin-cut boneless skinless chicken cutlets--- I used two chicken breast, that actually were perfect for rolling. You may need to flatten yours out some. Channel your inner Martha.
salt and pepper
1/2c Italian seasoned panko bread crumbs

Preheat oven 475

Mix Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese with half of the basil. Set aside 1/2c mixture. Heat oil in skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook for a few minutes. Add tomato's or sauce and rest of basil. Heat about 5 minutes. Take your chicken and place the cheese/basil mix on and roll up. Place seam -side down. Top with the 1/2c cheese mixture you set aside. Then top with your sauce. You can also put some of the sauce down in the pan prior to adding the chicken (I did not). Mix your bread crumbs with some olive oil and top the chicken with this mix. Cover and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and cook another 5 to 10 depending on the thickness of your chicken. I did about five and it was PERFECT! Sooooooo yummy, and from someone who is not a huge fan it tasted lovely!
