Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and make sure you have all the ingredients together.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, basil, pine nuts, sausage, and cheese.
- Slice the chicken breasts horizontally through the center to form 4 cutlets. Place the chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound each cutlet to 1/4-inch thickness without tearing the flesh.
- Remove the top sheet of plastic wrap and season each cutlet with salt and pepper. Divide the sausage mixture evenly onto the cutlets. Roll each stuffed chicken breast lengthwise into a log shape. Tie each roll with kitchen twine at 1-1/2 inch intervals. Alternatively, secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the rolls.
- In a large oven-proof sauté pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and butter. As soon as the butter melts, add the rolls to the pan, seam side down. Cook for approximately 5 minutes until golden brown on all sides.
- Place the pan in the oven. Roast the chicken for 15 to 18 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer. Remove the stuffed chicken rolls from the pan.
- Using a potholder, place the pan over medium-high heat. Add the wine and cook for 1 minute or until the wine is reduced by half, scraping the pan to loosen the browned bits. Whisk in the chicken stock and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
- Remove the twine or toothpicks from the chicken rolls and slice them into 1/2-inch pieces. Place the chicken on a serving platter or individual plates and dress with the sauce. Serve with your favorite Italian sides and enjoy.
