Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Trimmed and pounded
  • 6 slices Prosciutto Substitute with cooked ham if desired
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil For frying; consider avocado oil as an alternative
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Sun-dried Tomatoes Oil-packed for enhanced taste
  • 1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves Can substitute with spinach
  • 8 ounces Provolone Cheese Mozzarella or fontina may be used
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

Equipment

  • Meat mallet
  • non-stick skillet
  • plastic wrap

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by trimming any excess fat from your boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Place each breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about ¼ to ½ inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  2. Once prepared, lay the pounded chicken breasts on a clean surface, rough side up. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper evenly over each breast. Next, spread a layer of oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, followed by fresh basil leaves, slices of provolone cheese, and prosciutto.
  3. From the nearest end, carefully begin to roll the chicken tightly into a neat roulade. Wrap the chicken tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Unwrap the chicken roulades and place them seam side up in the skillet. Sear for about 4–5 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Carefully flip the roulades to seam side down, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for an additional 15 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Transfer the roulades to a cutting board and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Slice the roulades into rounds and serve alongside a fresh salad or your favorite side.
