Basil Mozzarella Chicken

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

   Pound chicken breasts flat on a cutting board with a mallet. (Or place 1 chicken breast in a gallon bag and pound with a rolling pin-repeat with the remaining chicken.) Chicken should be about 1/2in. thick.
3. 3
   Place all chicken in an 8x8in. glass baking dish and sprinkle generously with 3 tsp. pepper and 2 tsp. salt...coating both sides of chicken...then drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Take hands and rub the vinegar and oil all over chicken until well coated.
4. 4
   Lay one piece of chicken flat in the dish and place 3 basil leaves in a row on chicken and sprinkle with 2 tbsp. pine nuts...then place 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese on top. Start at the top of the chicken and roll up...making sure all ingredients are wrapped inside...then pierce with a spear to hold chicken in place. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Excess vinegar and oil in the bottom of the dish is fine.
