Preparation
Step 1
Place 1 piece of prosciutto flat on a cutting board.
Step 2
Place a thin sliced chicken breast on top of the prosciutto. (If you’re really into prosciutto, feel free to add another slice on top of the chicken breast.)
Step 3
Put 2 basil leaves flat on top of the chicken breast.
Step 4
Slice the fresh mozzarella into approximately ¼ inch slices. Cut each slice in half. Lay the two halves on top of the basil approximately ½ an inch apart.
Step 5
Gently roll up the rollatini and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Don’t worry, it’s quick and surprisingly fun.
Step 6
Drizzle your rollatinis with 2 tbsp olive oil. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 7
Preparing your Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Sauce:
Step 8
*Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
Step 9
Place the whole red bell pepper on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes.
Step 10
When roasted, remove the pepper from the oven, place in a bowl and cover loosely with foil. Allow the pepper to cool for about 20 minutes, then remove the skin and seeds, and coarsely chop the flesh.
Step 11
In a large saucepan, sauté the minced garlic in 1 tbsp olive oil for about 2 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the crushed fire roasted tomatoes, chopped roasted red bell pepper, and ½ tsp crushed red pepper. Simmer for ten minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Step 12
Pour the sauce in to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Salt to taste.
Step 13
Serve your chicken rollatini hot with roasted tomato sauce. Take a bow.
