Ingredients

1 chicken breast fillet
Salt
Black pepper
1.7 oz pesto
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan
3/4 cup breadcrumbs

Open the chicken fillet to make it bigger and thinner. If necessary use a steak hammer.

Season with salt and pepper.

Spread the pesto, arrange the mozzarella cheese and close the fillet with toothpicks.

In a bowl, mix Parmesan cheese with breadcrumbs.

Baste the chicken with the egg and then the Parmesan mixture with breadcrumbs.
