1/2 cup basil pesto sauce
8 slices ham or prosciutto
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 tbsp. fresh basil, chopped

Split or butterfly the chicken breasts. Layer prosciutto, a tsp. of pesto, and
tbsp. of sun dried tomatoes. Roll up the chicken breasts while tucking in the
sides to completely envelop the filling.

as needed and simmer 30 minutes. Serve with rice or polenta. |
