Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken cutlets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 ounces prosciutto
- 6 slices provolone cheese about 1/2 pound
- 1/3 cup freshly chopped basil, pesto or basil paste in a tube
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- If using regular chicken breasts, cut them in half horizontally through the thickest part. Place each half between two pieces of plastic wrap and flatten the chicken with a heavy object like a cast iron skillet. Repeat with all of the chicken.
- In a medium bowl, add the olive oil and lemon juice. In a second bowl, add the parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Dip the chicken in the olive oil and lemon juice on both sides and then into the bread crumb mixture on both sides.
- Lay a half slice of provolone and one slice of prosciutto on the widest side of the chicken. Add one fresh basil leaf, or a teaspoon of basil paste/pesto if using that.
- Roll up, starting at the end with the fillings and roll toward the narrow end of the chicken.
- Place the rolled chicken on a greased cookie sheet or in a cast iron skillet. Spray generously with olive oil spray or drizzle with olive oil and bake until cooked through and golden 25 to 30 minutes.
