On a clean work surface, lay out a chicken breast. If thick, butterfly each chicken breast to create two thinner pieces of equal size. Season both sides of the chicken with the black pepper.

Place a slice of mozzarella on one end of each chicken piece. Carefully roll the chicken around the cheese, and then wrap each rolled chicken breast with two slices of prosciutto.
3
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter. Once hot, add the chicken rolls (seam-side down first to seal), cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4
Pour the white wine into the skillet, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Let the chicken cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. During this time, the wine will reduce, forming a delicious jus.
5
Remove the chicken from the skillet, set aside, and lightly cover with foil to keep warm. Spoon the pan juices back over the chicken.
6
Just before serving, spread a spoonful of pesto over each chicken roll and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
