Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 slices Prosciutto
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Tomato passata
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 pieces Toothpicks or kitchen twine
Directions
Step 1
Lay each chicken breast flat on a cutting board and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Step 2
Season both sides of the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Place a slice of prosciutto on each chicken breast. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese and a pinch of minced parsley over the prosciutto.
Step 4
Roll the chicken breasts tightly from one end to the other and secure them with toothpicks or kitchen twine to keep them from opening during cooking.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken rolls on all sides until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Step 6
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 7
Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Add the tomato passata to the skillet and stir well. Season the sauce with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 9
Return the chicken rolls to the skillet, spoon sauce over them, and cover the pan. Simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes, turning the rolls occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear.
Step 10
Remove the chicken rolls from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks or twine before serving.
Step 11
Serve the braciola di pollo with the tomato sauce spooned over the top. Pair with pasta, polenta, or a side salad for a complete meal.
