Chicken Rollatini…

This is one of the easiest recipes ever!  All you have to do is prep and bake.

I haven’t made our usual chicken rollatini in a while and everyone has been craving for them lately. 

Chicken Rollatini with Ham, Cheese and Spinach is a classic meal and pairs well with our moms best mashed potato pie, or with our oven steak fries. 

 

For this recipe…

I decided to make a different chicken rollatini.  I used Havarti cheese deli slices and all natural cured ham as part of my stuffing. 

Havarti cheese is a soft cheese, and for me the taste is like a cross between a Swiss and mozzarella cheese.  It melts very nicely and has a delicious flavor that works perfectly with my recipe.

I love the taste of it and since I didn’t have any mozzarella, I used it to replace the mozzarella. 

Fresh spinach is always in my vegetable drawer, and thought to add some healthy greens as well. 

Why not?  It’s always a plus to add some in!

Also, these chicken cutlets were pretty large in size, so I felt one rollatini per person was enough.  With this recipe, you can make as many servings you need. 

You can easily make these chicken rollatini within minutes!

 

 

My Chicken Rollatini with Ham Cheese and Spinach always turns out juicy and tender.  

This chicken dish is so delicious!  And so easy.  It’s a pleasure making dinner a little less stressful and more enjoyable. 

All you really need is a green salad to go with it, a bottle of white wine and dinner is done!

Enjoy!!

Cook’s Notes and Tips:  

• You can use Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese in this recipe. But keep mind you will need to season the chicken with some salt and pepper to taste.  

• You can also use panko bread crumbs (or gluten-free corn bread crumbs) with this recipe for a little extra crunch.

• When making our bread crumb mixture, I  prefer to use grated Pecorino-Romano cheese in my the mixture.  Pecorino Romano cheese is a saltier cheese than Parmesan cheese and adds more flavor to the breadcrumbs and to the chicken. 

• If you use grated pecorino cheese, then there is no need to season the chicken cutlets with any salt!
