salt and pepper
3/4 c itlalian bread crumbs

8 slice provalone cheese. sliced in half
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 egg
parsley flakes - optional
prepared warm pasta

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450 degree F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, set aside.
  • 2. Make the sauce - or use your favorite. 3 1/2 cups is what my recipe makes. May want to double if having more than 4 for spaghetti. I used this sauce for the chicken and 4 servings of pasta. Heat the olive oil in skillet or saucepan, over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute more. Add the tomatoes, oregano, salt and red pepper flakes, and bring to simmer. Simmer while preparing Chicken, about 10 minutes. Let cool for about 15 minutes.
  • 3. Now, pour the sauce into a food processor or blender and puree until desired smoothness. (totally optional, but for this dish, I like a smoother sauce. Keep warm till ready to use.
  • 4. In a bowl, add ricotta cheese, 1 egg, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella, spinach, salt and pepper to taste. Blend thoroughly.
  • 5. Place 2 or 3 chicken cutlets inside a large freezer bag Pound out each piece to about 1/4 in thick with meat mallot. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • 6. Now, salt and pepper each piece.
  • 7. On two separate plates; add bread crumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese to one, and lightly beat 2 eggs on another. Onto each breast, spread about 2 tablespoon of cheese mixture. If I have extra at the end, I add more to each.
  • 8. Loosely roll each one and keep seam side down. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then in breadcrumbs and place seam side down into prepared baking dish. Repeat steps with remaining chicken.
  • 9. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes. Remove from oven, top each cutlet with about 2 tbsp sauce.
  • 10. Criss - cross cheese atop the sauce. Sprinkle with parsley.
  • 11. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 3 more minutes.
  • 12. Serve with the additional sauce, pasta and Parmesan cheese. Delicious!!!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 14.5-ounce can crushed San Marzano or fire-roasted tomatoes
5 or 6 fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 thin (1/8-inch-thick) chicken cutlets (4 ounces each)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
6 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg white
Nonstick cooking spray
Prepared instant polenta, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Cook the broth, garlic, tomatoes and basil in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper; place smooth-side down on a work surface. Sprinkle with the parsley and mozzarella. Starting at the short end, roll up to enclose the filling. Secure with a toothpick.
  • Mix the parmesan and breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Put the egg white in another dish and beat until foamy.
  • Mist a cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Dip the chicken rolls in the egg white, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place in the skillet, seam-side down. Sprinkle with any remaining breadcrumbs and mist with cooking spray. Bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve with the tomato sauce, and polenta, if desired.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Chicken Breasts: Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are of uniform thickness. This will ensure even cooking.
  • Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach provides the best flavor and texture for the rollatini. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Cook the chicken breasts until they are just cooked through to prevent them from becoming dry and tough.
  • Use a Good Quality Marinara Sauce: Choose a marinara sauce that is flavorful and has a thick consistency. You can use store-bought or make your own.
  • Don't Overstuff the Rollatini: Be careful not to overstuff the chicken breasts with the spinach and cheese mixture. This will make them difficult to roll and may cause them to fall apart.
  • Use a Toothpick to Secure the Rollatini: Secure the rollatini with a toothpick before baking. This will help them hold their shape.
  • Bake the Rollatini Until Golden Brown: Bake the rollatini until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the Rollatini Rest Before Serving: Allow the rollatini to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Chicken Spinach Parmesan Rollatini is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its combination of tender chicken, flavorful spinach, and melted cheese, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
