I wanted to make something Italian and easy so I came up with this idea of Italian chicken roll ups. It uses seasoned breadcrumbs and fresh garlic and olive oil and a lemon and olive oil sauce.
Italian Chicken Rollups
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
2 lbs thin sliced skinless, boneless chicken cutlets
1 cup seasoned Italian bread
2-3 cloves garlic minced
1 1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil, divided
Juice of 2 lemons
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp. chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus more for garnishing
*Note

Directions
Preheat oven to 350.
In a small bowl combine the bread crumbs, garlic and about 1/4 cup of the olive oil. In another bowl combine the rest of the olive oil with the lemon juice and salt and pepper. Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Place about a tablespoon of the breadcrumb mixture on top of the chicken and gently roll up. Being careful so none of the filling comes out. Use a toothpick if it helps the bread crumbs stay in. Once rolled up place a small bit of the crumbs on top of the chicken. Lay the cutlets in a baking dish. Pour the olive oil mixture into the dish. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until chicken is done. Serve the chicken with a bit of the sauce over it. Garnish with parsley.
*Note: these are just approximations as you will have to adjust the amounts…definitely make them higher.
