Ingredients

  • 2 bones and skin removed chicken breasts
  • 8 slices extra lean ham
  • 1/2 cup part skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsps leaves basil
  • 1 oz fat free cream cheese
  • 1 tsp spicy brown or dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 dash pepper
  • 1 dash salt

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375° F (190° C).
  • Combine cheeses, basil, and mustard in bowl. Mix until blended, then salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cut chicken breasts in half (like you would cut a loaf of bread). Using a meat mallet, tenderize and flatten chicken.
  • Place 2 slices ham on chicken, cover completely. Spread 1/4 of the cheese mixture on ham. Roll up chicken and ham. Use toothpicks to secure the chicken roll.
  • In a frying pan (preferably oven safe) drizzle olive oil. Turn heat to medium. Brown chicken rolls.
  • Pop pan in to oven for 18-25 minutes or until center of chicken has reached 180° F (80° C).
  • Let cool for 3-5 minutes so juices can be absorbed then enjoy.
  • Note: If you are like me and eat with your eyes first, you may sprinkle a bit or parmesan cheese and basil over the chicken before eating. Also for a variation you could add spinach or your favorite kinds of cheeses... make this recipe your own!
