Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 clove garlic thinly sliced
  • 1 can fire-roasted diced or crushed tomatoes (14.5 oz)
  • 5 or 6 fresh basil leaves chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 thin chicken cutlets (1/8 inch-thick)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 6 oz. shredded reduced fat mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup)
  • 1/4 grated or shredded reduced fat parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg white
  • Cooking spray

Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Oven
  • Cutting Board
  • Grater
  • Skillet
  • Chef's Knife
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Cook the broth, garlic, tomatoes, and basil in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
  3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper; please smooth-side down on a work surface. Sprinkle with the parsley and mozzarella. Starting at the short end, roll up to enclose the filling. Secure with a toothpick.
  4. Mix the parmesan and breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Put the egg white in another dish and beat until foamy.
  5. Mist a cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Dip the chicken rolls in the egg white, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place in the skillet, seam-side down. Sprinkle with remaining breadcrumbs and mist with cooking spray.
  6. Bake until cooked through, about 25 minutes. Serve with the tomato sauce and enjoy!

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to maintain texture.
  • Tip 2: You can freeze the assembled (but uncooked) rollatini. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and they can last for up to three months.
  • Tip 3: This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
  • Tip 4: Experiment with different herbs like oregano or thyme in the filling for a flavor twist.
  • Tip 5: Consider adding finely chopped spinach or mushrooms to the filling for added nutritional value.
