I discovered that Genovese pesto pairs well not only with meat but also with fish (check out my profile for Salmon with Pesto on a Bed of Green Beans).

Steps

35 minutes

1

Pound the chicken to flatten it. Spread a tablespoon of pesto on each piece, then top with pancetta and cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
2

Roll up each piece and secure with toothpicks. Dredge in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
3

Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with a little olive oil.
4

Bake at 450°F (230°C) for 15 minutes with the broiler on to create a crispy crust.
5

This is the lighter version, but you can also deep-fry them in plenty of vegetable oil if you prefer.
