1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter

2. Spoon and spread 1 tbsp pesto in the center of each cutlet, top with 2 thin slices of tomato and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Roll the chicken up as tightly as you can and seal ends with a toothpick.
3. Preheat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat with olive oil and butter. Add chicken roll-ups and fry on both sides until golden.
4. Sprinkle tops with remaining cheese and scherry tomatoes over the top. Place the skillet in the oven and bake 425˚F for 13-15 minutes.
5.To serve, remove toothpicks then plate chicken pesto roll ups, spooning pan juices and roasted tomatoes over the top and garnish with freshly chopped basil.
