INGREDIENTS
Ingredients for 8 rolls: Chicken breast 8 slices; Prosciutto cotto 4.25 oz (120 g); Spinach 4 ½ cups (500 g); Fontina cheese 7 oz (200 g); White wine 2.7 oz (80 ml); Extra virgin olive oil to taste; Fine salt to taste

Preparation

How to prepare Chicken Rolls

To prepare the chicken rolls, start by boiling the fresh spinach in salted boiling water for a few seconds 1. Once blanched, stop the cooking in ice water 2, drain them well, squeeze out all the water using a towel, and finally chop them finely with a knife 3.

Using a meat tenderizer, gently pound the chicken breast slices to make them thinner and more uniform, then salt them 4. Place the sliced cooked ham to size on each slice of meat 5 and two thin slices of fontina cheese 6.

Finally, stuff with a tablespoon of boiled spinach 7. Then start rolling the chicken tightly from one end to the other, securing it at the end with a toothpick 8; continue this way for all the rolls. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and place the rolls 9. Brown on all sides over high heat.

When they are well browned, deglaze with white wine 10. Let the wine evaporate, cook the rolls for about 15 more minutes over low heat (the cooking times will depend on the thickness of the meat); if during cooking the meat dries out excessively, add some hot water. When the chicken rolls are ready 11, serve them piping hot!

Storage

Keep the chicken rolls in the fridge for a maximum of one day.

You can freeze them after cooking if you used fresh ingredients.

Tip

Try them also with caciocavallo cheese instead of fontina or with chard as an alternative to spinach if you prefer a less bitter taste. If you want to create an accompanying sauce, add a tablespoon of creamy cheese to the cooking base and let it melt, then blend everything with an immersion blender to make the sauce smooth and creamy.
