  5. Spread pesto evenly over each piece of chicken.
  6. Top each with a slice of cheddar cheese.
  7. Roll tightly from the short end and secure with a toothpick.
  8. Dip each roll in egg, then coat with almond meal.
  9. Place on baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
