Ingredients
  

  • 8 Boneless chicken legs or slices of chicken breast
  • 200 g of Ham
  • 200 g of Mozzarella cheese
  • 4 Onions
  • Salt & pepper
  • Rosemary

Breadcrumbs mixture

  • Wheat flour
  • 3 Eggs
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Parsley
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions
 

#1 Using a meat beater, lightly beat the chicken legs to make them thinner and more even, then salt and pepper them on both sides.

    Tip: If you use chicken breast, marinate it with a little olive oil, this will make the chicken softer.

      #2 Lay the chicken on a flat base and place a piece of ham and a slice of mozzarella on it and roll the chicken onto itself to make a roll.


      • Raw Involtini Di Pollo Al Forno ingredients on a wooden board: thinly sliced chicken breasts topped with ham and mozzarella, ready to be rolled and baked. Fresh rosemary and olive oil add a rustic touch.

      Do not exaggerate with the filling because otherwise the rolls may break or the cheese may leak out.

        #3 Pour enough flour into one bowl. Prepare the breadcrumbs mixture with breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley and salt and pepper in a second bowl. And beat the eggs in a third separate bowl.

            #4 First dip the chicken in the flour, then in the eggs and at the end in the seasoned breadcrumbs, press a little so that the breadcrumbs will stick perfectly with the chicken.

              #5 Prepare a baking tray with a bed of onions and lay down your breaded chicken rolls.

                #6 Season with extra virgin olive oil and rosemary and bake your breaded rolls at 180°C for about 20-25 minutes.

                In my recipe, I used cooked ham and mozzarella for the filling, but you can use speck or bacon, and also vegetables like spinach and soft cheese. As you prefer!
