Chicken Rollatini with Prosciutto and Cheese

A classic Italian chicken dish, this Chicken Rollatini with Prosciutto and Cheese is made with chicken cutlets coated in olive oil, and breadcrumbs, and stuffed with prosciutto, Swiss cheese, and mozzarella. Then rolled and baked until golden and crispy.  Yum!

 

My family craves their favorite dish.  They also love my Chicken Rollatini with Pesto and Grilled Balsamic Chicken Salad, and our Chicken Rollatini with Ham Cheese and Spinach, just to name a few.

So I decided to make this one and revive it from our archives. It is similar to our Crispy Stuffed Chicken Breasts, but these are baked.

 

For this recipe…

• You will need chicken cutlets, bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, dried parsley, extra virgin olive oil, prosciutto, sliced Swiss cheese, (or Muenster cheese), and mozzarella cheese.

• Chicken rollatini with prosciutto and cheese gives a nice twist to the plain and simple chicken cutlets; giving them a beautiful texture, color, and flavor.

• The prosciutto gives a salty, crispy-smoky flavor to the rollatini, while the melted cheeses create a creamy texture inside that is gooey and delicious!

• Crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside, it’s no wonder why this chicken rollatini has become everyone’s favorite!

Here’s a Few Great Tips:

• This recipe calls for 4 pieces of chicken cutlets.  I made a few extra pieces for my large family.

• You can double the recipe easily.

• If the prosciutto is too thin, add a second slice on top.

• Add grated pecorino cheese or parmesan cheese to the bread crumb mixture.

• If entertaining, you can prepare these chicken rollatini ahead of time.  Just wrap them with plastic wrap and refrigerate them until you are ready to bake them.  Then follow the baking instructions in our recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Chicken Rollatini with Prosciutto and Cheese is quick and simple to make.

Italians made rollatini as a way to stuff many ingredients into various inexpensive cuts of meat.  It was a way to enhance their flavors and make them more filling and satisfying.

No need to add salt to this recipe, the prosciutto and cheeses give enough flavor to the cutlets.

You can prep them ahead of time, then bake them while you prepare a salad to round out the meal.

Your family and friends will enjoy this chicken rollatini as much as my family does.

Chicken Rollatini with Prosciutto and Cheese

Print

Chicken Rollatini with Prosciutto and Cheese are skinless chicken cutlets lightly coated with olive oil and breadcrumbs and stuffed with Swiss cheese, prosciutto, and mozzarella cheese. Then rolled and baked until golden brown. Amazingly moist, tender, and totally delicious!

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 skinless chicken cutlets - thin slices
• One small package of sliced Italian prosciutto
• 4 slices Swiss cheese (or sliced Provolone cheese)
• 1 package of fresh or packaged whole-milk mozzarella
• 3/4 cup plain bread crumbs, and extra as needed
• 1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano grated cheese
• 1 Tbsp. dried parsley
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, and extra
• olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (218.3 C). Spray a medium-size baking pan or baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. First, give the cutlets a quick rinse under cold running water, then drain. 
3. Lay chicken cutlets between 2 sheets of wax paper or parchment paper and pat the chicken with a large spoon.
4. In a dish, mix the bread crumbs with the grated cheese and parsley. In a second dish or bowl, pour the olive oil.
5. Next, dip each chicken cutlet (one at a time) coating both sides, and allow to drain the excess oil back into the bowl. Then dip the cutlet into the bread crumb mixture, coating both sides evenly.
6. Arrange the breaded cutlets on a baking sheet. Place a slice of Italian prosciutto on each cutlet, then a slice of Swiss cheese (add 2 slices if they are thin), and top with a piece of mozzarella.
7. Pick up one end of the cutlet and roll it. (NOTE: Here is when you can wrap and place the rollatini's in the refrigerator if you decide to bake them later in the day).
8. Place the rollatini's onto a baking dish with the seam side down - no need for toothpicks. Lightly drizzle some extra olive oil on top of the rollatini to keep them moist while baking.
9. BAKE in the oven, uncovered for 17 to 22 minutes, until golden brown.
10. Serves 2 to 4
