Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 thin-sliced chicken breast halves (about 1 pound)
- 8 slices deli smoked turkey (about 1/4 pound)
- 4 slices provolone cheese, folded in half
- 8 large fresh basil leaves
- 4 toothpicks
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Noodles and a vegetable (optional)
Directions
1
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread chicken cutlets on a cutting board; if you can't find thin-sliced chicken, simply slice 4 thick cutlets in half to form 8 thin cutlets. Save 4 for another use.
2
Place 2 slices smoked turkey on each piece of chicken. Top each with one slice folded provolone cheese and 2 of the basil leaves. Roll up chicken to enclose filling, folding any overlapping edges of turkey over cheese (see tip, at right). Secure closed with toothpicks. Season with salt and pepper.
3
Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken rolls and brown on all sides, turning, about 4 minutes. Transfer chicken rolls to a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish and cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
4
To serve: Remove toothpicks and cut chicken rolls crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve with cooked noodles and a green vegetable, if desired.
