Chicken Rollatini

Ingredients

6 Thinly sliced chicken breasts (two chicken breasts per person…total of six neede

Whole or skim milk mozzarella cheese (purchase only a name brand…not a store bra

o You will need to slice the cheese so there is one slice per Grated cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano…try to get real cheese…avoid imitation)

Chopped garlic (chopped garlic from a jar works fine)

Heat your oven to 325 degrees F.

If you are cooking with real wine (and not cooking wine), now is a good time to sample some of it…to make sure it has not gone bad.

Lay the chicken breasts on a platter and sprinkle with grated cheese.

Turn over the chicken breasts…sprinkle more cheese.

Make sure the wine is not going bad so sample some more of it.

On each chicken breast you will place:

About 1/4 teaspoon of chopped garlic.

About 1/2 teaspoon of butter.

A slice of mozzarella cheese.

A slice of prosciutto. (Tear off a piece of it for placement on top of the rolled up chicken breast.)

Roll up the chicken breasts and arrange them in your favorite oven-proof dish.

Place a small piece of prosciutto on top of each rolled up chicken breast.

In a separate container, mix the wine and olive oil.

Slowly pour the wine/oil mixture on top of the chicken breasts.

Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes if the chicken breasts are very thin…closer to 45 minutes if they are a bit thick.

You can easily increase the quantities to serve a larger number of people.
