Share:
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs or 2 chicken breasts, halved to make 4 thinner fillets, boneless, skinless
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 4 tablespoons tomato paste or flavour of choice, garlic and herb flavored
- 2 teaspoons parsley dried
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt divided
- 8 lices mozzarella cheese divided, thin slices
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pasta sauce marinara, in a bottle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly pound fillets between two pieces of plastic wrap to ¼-inch thickness using a mallet. Pat chicken dry; season with salt.
- Spread 1 tablespoon tomato paste over one side of each fillet; sprinkle with parsley, garlic powder and ½ teaspoon of salt. Place one slice of mozzarella onto each half of a fillet and roll (starting from the cheese end) and place seam side down. (Seal with a toothpick if needed).
- In a shallow medium-sized bowl, whisk the the egg, garlic powder and remaining ½ teaspoon of salt together; set aside. In another shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, panko, basil and parmesan cheese.
- Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet (or oven-proof frying pan) over medium heat. Evenly coat the rolled chicken fillets into the egg mixture, then into the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place the chicken (seam side down again) into the preheated skillet/pan and cook on each side for 4-5 minutes until the coating is golden brown and the cheese on the inside has melted.
- Reduce heat to low and pour in the pasta sauce. Move the chicken around with tongs so the sauce is evenly covered over the base of the pan; allow to simmer for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour some sauce from the pan over each chicken; place skillet/pan in the oven to cook for a further 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven; top each chicken roll with remaining cheese slices; return to oven and allow to grill/broil on medium heat until cheese has melted over the top. Garnish with extra dried parsley and Italian herbs.
- Serve warm over pasta; mashed potatoes or with a salad.
