4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1tsp Italian seasoning
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 (6 oz) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C.).

Sprinkle over chicken breasts.
At one end of each breast, place 3 strips of roasted pepper.
Top with 1 tbsp shredded cheese.
Roll each breast up, starting on the side with the peppers and cheese.
Insert a toothpick in each roll to prevent unrolling.
Place in prepared baking dish. Season rolls with
salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with olive oil.

4. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Set oven to broil and continue cooking 5 to 10 minutes.
