Ingredients:

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (tenderloins removed)
• 2 tbsp fresh basil pesto

• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

2. Spread each breast with some of the pesto and top with slice of prosciutto. Roll up and secure with string. Season each with salt and pepper.
3. Place chicken breasts on greased grill over medium-high heat and grill for about 12 minutes, turning once or until no longer pink inside. Remove to plate.
4. Meanwhile, in a bowl combine tomatoes, parsley and salt and pepper.
5. In small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar and garlic.
6. Slice each breast diagonally into 2 cm slices and place on plates. Top with tomatoes and serve with mayonnaise.
