Because I have a busy schedule, I like to keep a batch of these tender chicken rolls in the freezer. Coated with golden crumbs, they seem fancy enough for company. I've substituted mozzarella cheese for the provolone and pastrami for the ham with equally delicious results. —Barbara Wobser, Sandusky, Ohio

Ingredients

8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)

1/2 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

everyone loved this recipe. Easy and very tasty. Really like that you can make them ahead and then use as you need them. Will definitely make this again and again and have given out copies to many requests

So good! Instead of bread crumbs, I used Shake N Bake with some seasoning I had, and instead of provolone cheese, I used Mozzarella!

This was gourmet for how little time it took.

I've made this several times and it's very good. I like to drizzle a little sun-dried tomato Alfredo sauce over the chicken and serve with a side of fettuccine. I'd also like to try stuffing some ricotta cheese in the chicken with maybe some prosciutto. I bet that would be tasty!

I really enjoyed the convenience of having these in the freezer to pop in the oven. They were very good, but it didn't seem like there was any cheese in it. Still, I'd make it the same again next time because I think adding more cheese would make it even harder to roll up.

first time making it, very delicious, used the thin slices of ham so maybe could have used 2 but tasted great

1 oz. chicken or deli ham or fat-free cheese= 0 carbs, 7 grams protein, 0-1 grams fat and 35 calories. The meat is a protein, not a carb. Other cheese has more fat and calories but if you stay with 3 grams of less fat per oz, no carbs. This info is from my diabetic carb counting and exchange list.

would need to see total fat grams before making

Would like the carb totals before I make this as I am diabetic. Thank you!!!

love it with swiss instead of provolone. Has anyone made it with broccoli and cheese? Please let me know.

This sounds really good but there are no nutritional values included. The number of carbs is very important in our home due to diabetes. Can you send those numbers to me? Thanks.

This was an extremely easy recipe! And I was able to freeze half, so I have plenty for another dinner! I did substitute swiss cheese for the provolone, so it was a little more like a cordon bleu, which was fun. This is great for beginning cooks who want to impress their guests!

After the first bite, my husband declared this good enough for company!

My family loved these .. my 6yr old couldn't get enough! I made a bunch of these and froze some uncooked. On a busy workday, I take a few out in the morning, then pop in the oven when I get home. Quick and easy. I'm always looking for easy but wholesome meals for my family. Since I work fulltime, I dont want our family meals to suffer.

My family loves these and they are easy to make. I leave the ham out of a couple since one of my sons doesn't like ham. Just use a colored toothpick on those and we can easily identify which is which!

These were excellent. I made them the day before and when I got home from work, I just popped them in the oven. Steam some broccoli and a salad and it's a great meal!
