Italian Chicken Rollups

Ingredients

• 4 (4oz.) skinless, boneless chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 (1oz.) part-skim mozzarella string cheese sticks
• non stick cooking spray
• 1 cup garlic and herb tomato sauce

Directions

1. Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy duty plastic wrap and pound to a 1/4'' thickness, using a meat mallet.
2. Combine basil, salt and pepper. Sprinkle half the mixture evenly over both sides of chicken breast.
3. Place 1 string cheese stick across the center of each flattened chicken breast. Roll up chicken, jelly roll fashion, starting with short side.
4. Place chicken roll ups, seam sides down, in an 11''X7'' baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining half of spice mixture and coat with cooking spray. Cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours, if desired.
5. Preheat oven to 350º.
6. Pour tomato sauce over chicken. Bake, uncovered, for 35 minutes or until chicken is done and sauce is thoroughly heated.
