Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 (6 ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained
ΒΌ cup chopped fresh chives
4 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice a chicken breast in half lengthwise, leaving the halves attached on one side: opened and laid flat, the chicken breast should resemble a butterfly. Place between two sheets of plastic wrap, and pound flat. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
  • Combine Parmesan cheese with Italian seasoning and chives, and sprinkle over chicken breasts. At one end of each breast, place 3 strips of roasted pepper. Top with 1 tablespoon shredded cheese. Roll each breast up, starting on the side with the peppers and cheese. Insert a toothpick in each roll to prevent unrolling. Place in prepared baking dish. Season rolls with salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Set oven to broil, and continue cooking for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, slice to display the colorful filling, and serve.

We love this recipe, but would like to have some type of topping on the chicken once it is rolled up. Perhaps breadcrumbs?

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless chicken breasts
1/2 tsp italian seasoning
2 Tbsp parmesan cheese
1 6 oz. jar roasted red pepper, drained
1/4 chives, bunch
4 Tbsp mozarella, shredded
2 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

  • 3. Place in prepared baking dish with olive oil. Bake 15 minutes, then set oven to broil for 5-10 minutes. Remove and slice.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs. The bones and skin add flavor to the dish, and the skin will crisp up nicely in the oven.
  • If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or water. Just be sure to add a little bit of lemon juice to brighten up the flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of spice in the dish to your liking. If you like things spicy, add an extra pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder dish, omit the peppers altogether.
  • Serve Chicken Valentino with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
