2 tsp italian seasoning blend
8 slice black forest ham
8 slice swiss cheese
2 Tbsp butter, melted
1/3 c freshly made italian bread crumbs

Season with salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and the Worcestershire sauce to taste. Next add Parmesan cheese set aside to keep warm.
  • 2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook Lasagna sheets for 2 minutes. Drain and spread flat on a parchment paper.
  • 3. Pound chicken thinly and season with an Italian seasoning blend.
  • 4. Place a slice of ham and fold up a slice of Swiss to encase it, like an tube with the ends closed.
  • 5. Next take the unseasoned side of your thinly slicked chicken breast and place the rolled ham tube in the middle. Roll chicken up tightly to encase the ham and cheese tubes and use a toothpicks, if desired, to keep ends closed. Roll into the pasta sheet tightly around chicken. Continue on until you have all 8 rolls completed.
  • 6. Next add the Béchamel sauce into your oven proof baking dish. Add the pasta rolls and baste them with the melted butter. Sprinkle the fresh Italian bread crumbs over top of each roll. Finish off with the freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • 7. Bake in a preheated 375 degree Fahrenheit oven for 30 minutes, or until thermometer placed into the center of each roll registers 165 degrees. Take out of the oven and let set for 7-10 minutes before serving.
  • 8. Garnish with fresh basil or or parsley for a nice color contrast.

These cannelloni rolls were amazing! The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the cannelloni shells were soft and chewy. The sauce was also very good, and I loved the addition of the Parmesan cheese.

This was so flavorful and cheesy! I added some extra garlic to the chicken mixture, and it was perfect. Next time, I will use a different pasta because the cannelloni shells were a bit too thick for my taste.
