Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray an 8x8x2-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Slice the rolls in half. Place the bottom halves into the prepared baking dish.
Spread the pesto over the bottom halves of the rolls. Place shredded chicken on top of the pesto, then sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the chicken. Cover with the top halves of the rolls.
