Chicken Pizza-Rollatini
- 1 whole Head Of Garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 4 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 can Tomato Paste (medium Sized 15oz)
- 3 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning (or Oregano)
- 2 Tablespoons Crushed Red Pepper, Or To Taste
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 16 slices Salami
- 16 slices Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Thinly Sliced
- 16 sticks Toothpicks
- Turn your oven on 350 degrees F.
- Slice the top off of a head of garlic and cover with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil.
- Wrap in foil and bake for 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile... rinse 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Carefully use a sharp knife and slice each breast through the middle the long way.
- So essentially you are making 2 thinner breasts.
- Set back in fridge.
- When garlic is done keep oven on 350 degrees and remove the garlic from the oven.
- Unwrap garlic and squeeze out all of the roasted cloves from the head into a bowl.
- Add your tomato paste to the garlic and smash it together.
- Add 3 Tablespoons of Italian seasoning or Oregano and 2 Tablespoons crushed red pepper or to your spicy desirability.
- (I usually add a little more heat).
- Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Mix your sauce all together.
- Set up your rolling station with your chciken breasts, salami, thinly sliced cheese and toothpicks.
- Take 1 breast and add a dollop of tomato paste mixture (enough to cover surface area).
- Use spoon to cover the entire top surface.
- Then lay 2 slices of salami across the top, and place 2 slices of cheese toward the center of the breast.
- Start with the wider end of the breast and roll it to its tail.
- Stab 2 toothpicks right through the top of the roll through the bottom to secure.
- Place your rolls in a 13x9 pan.
- Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
- Bake for 50 minutes at 350 degrees F.
- Remove toothpicks prior to serving.
- Serve rolls either intact, or cut in half and serve on their sides like in the picture, for added fanciness.
- Enjoy!
