Chicken Rollatini
- 4 thin-sliced chicken breast halves, about 1 pound
- 8 slices deli-smoked turkey (about 1/4 pound)
- 4 slices provolone cheese, folded in half
- 8 large fresh basil leaves
- 4 toothpicks
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 18 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- noodles (optional)
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F; spread chicken cutlets on a cutting board; if you can't find thin-sliced chicken, simply slice 4 thick cutlets in half to form 8 cutlets (save 4 for another use).
- Place 2 slices smoked turkey on each piece of chicken.
- Top each with one sliced folded provolone cheese and 2 of the basil leaves.
- Roll up chicken to enclose filling, folding any overlapping edges of turkey over cheese (fold edges of sliced turkey over the cheese before tightly rolling chicken.
- This will help keep melted cheese from oozing out of the open ends while baking).
- Secure closed with toothpicks.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
- Add chicken rolls and brown on all sides, turning, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer chicken rolls to a 13x9x2-inch baking dish and cover with foil.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
- To serve: Remove toothpicks and cut chicken rolls crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Serve with cooked noodles, if desired.
