Cheater Chicken and Pesto Rolls

The below recipe was found on Good Morning Utah. My friend, Shauna, made this for our Bonko night last week. I am making it tonight for dinner. I found EVERYTHING I needed at Super Target, including the rotisserie chicken. If you love Italian food like me, you will LOVE this recipe. It is to die for!
