Ingredients:

• 1 jar spaghetti sauce
• 1/2 lb cooked & cleaned shrimp (tails removed)
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• Dried Italian seasoning
• 1/4 lb Havarti Cheese, thinly sliced
• 4 strips of bacon
• Purchased or prepared pesto sauce
• Freshly grated parmesan cheese

Method

Preheat oven to 350. Pour Spaghetti sauce in a shallow baking dish. Toss the shrimp in and stir until they are coated with sauce. Pound Chicken breasts to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Rub Italian Seasoning on both sides of all four breasts. Lay chicken flat and put a couple pieces of Havarti cheese on each breast. Roll the chicken up; wrap a piece of bacon around each breast and secure with a toothpick. Place each piece in the baking dish. Put a teaspoon of pesto sauce on top of each chicken roll and sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese. Bake at 350 about 30 minutes, or until chicken is done.

Notes: This dish goes great with pasta and a salad with balsamic dressing!
