Chef’s Tips

You’ll want to use thin chicken cutlets for this recipe. They’ll roll a lot easier. If you can’t find cutlets, you can use chicken breasts, and slice thru the raw chicken in half, (or thirds if really thick), horizontally lenghtwise to make thin cutlets. You can also pound the chicken flat if it comes out uneven. Add the cutlets to a sealable ziploc bag or wrapped in plastic wrap. Use a meat tenderizer, or the bottom of a small pan to pound them a few times until they’re flat at a uniform thickness.
Chicken rollatini are great served on their own. But they’re often paired with pasta, a green salad, or a side of veggies such as broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans.
While the cutlets should stay rolled up by themselves if you place them in your baking dish with the seam down, if you find that they’re trying to unroll, you can use a wooden toothpick to keep them closed. To avoid the toothpick to burn while the chicken rollatini are baking in the oven, soak them in water for about 10 minutes before using them.
