Directions

One at a time, place the chicken halves between two pieces of waxed paper. Pound to 1/4 inch thickness.
Cut cheese cloth into eight 8 inch squares.
Prepare the pesto: Put the basil leaves, scallion, garlic, sunflower seeds, salt (if using), and pepper in a blender or food processor fitted with a metal blade.
Pulse on and off until minced. Slowly add enough broth to make a smooth thin mixture. Stir in cheese and bread crumbs.
Season the chicken breasts with salt (if using).
Divide the pesto between the breasts leaving a border around each edge of each breast.
Starting with the short end, roll up each breast enclosing the pesto completely.
Place in cheese cloth and tie each end with kitchen twine tightly.
Place the chicken broth in a skillet. Bring to a boil.
Then, reducing the heat, add the chicken rolls. Simmer about 20 minutes in a single layer until firm to the touch.
Remove from the stock and remove and discard the cheese cloth.
Arrange on a platter and slice on the diagonal to serve.
