First Courtney (and Mandy for 1 chicken breast) pounded the chicken so it was as thin as we could get it. This was a little bit of a challenge since we didn't have the tool to pound meat so instead improvised with a can of pineapple and Courtney's strength.
While Courtney was doing this I made the pesto (from a packet) and then made the stuffing of sour cream, cheese, and the pesto. Me being the brainiac I am decided to put the warm pesto in with the sour cream so it got quite runny. We are so very smart though and put it in the freezer for a bit to thicken it up and then added a little more sour cream and cheese once it was colder.
Courtney then spread the stuffing mixture (in the green bowl) on the chicken and rolled it up using as many toothpicks as necessary. Then she handed the chicken breast off to me.
Then I coated the chicken in egg and then moved it to some seasoned bread crumbs and parmesan cheese mixture. (I would say that I was pretty much an expert in this)
Then they were placed in the pan (that Courtney had previously sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) and Mandy took at picture with it so it looks like she helped out a lot. She was the official photographer of the cooking experience though so that was a pretty important job.
We then placed them in the oven to do the baking so we didn't have any raw chicken because I wouldn't want to have to interview us all with some campylobacter.
This is what the finished chicken breast looked like (after it was cut to make sure it was done)
And here is everyone enjoying their chicken (and loving that I decided to take their picture)
Overall it was a very successful recipe and tasted really good. We are now culinary masters I would say ;)
