Chicken + Ham & Cheese Rollatini

Ingredients

  • 4 medium chicken breasts
  • 8 slices nitrate-free deli ham
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp freshly chopped parsley leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 360 degrees f.
  • Start by prepping your chicken. Slice each chicken breast in half, lengthways to create 8 thin cutlets.
  • Lay chicken cutlets down on a working surface and cover with plastic wrap, or parchment paper. Pound with a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy pot, to about ΒΌ-inch even thickness.
  • Season lightly with sea salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Top each chicken cutlet with one slice of ham and sprinkle with about 1 Tablespoon of shredded mozzarella.
  • Roll up the chicken and secure the ends with toothpicks, as shown.
  • Heat oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken roll-ups until nicely browned, then pour in the stock and transfer the skillet to the oven.
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until just cooked through.
  • Allow the chicken to cool a bit, then slice, drizzle with juices and sprinkle with parsley.
  • Serve with broccoli and rice.
