Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Pour milk into a separate bowl.
• Place a slice of ham and a slice of provolone cheese on each chicken breast. Depending on the size of your ham and cheese slices, you may need to trim them or cut them in half so that they are not hanging too far out of the roll-up.

• Dip chicken rolls in milk, then coat with a light coating of the crumb mixture.
• Place chicken seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.

Steps:

Fold in the sides and bottoms of chicken breasts; roll up each piece into a spiral, pressing edges to seal. Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl; roll chicken roll-ups in crumbs to coat. Place in prepared baking dish. Drizzle broth over chicken. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and onion salt. Place 1 tsp of the butter on top of each roll-up.

CREAMY TUSCAN CHICKEN ROLLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the chicken rolls: Butterfly the chicken breasts and season on both sides with 1 teaspoon of pepper, the onion powder, 2 teaspoons of salt, and the garlic powder.
• Place a chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet, rolling pin, or heavy pan until about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
• Remove the top sheet of plastic wrap and place a handful of baby spinach over the center of the chicken breast, then cover with ¼ cup (50 G) of sun-dried tomatoes. Starting from the bottom, tightly roll the chicken, using the plastic wrap to help. Wrap the chicken roll tightly in plastic wrap to secure. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Chill the chicken rolls in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
• Make the béchamel sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook until softened and the onions are beginning to caramelize and become very fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and diced tomatoes and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and flour and stir to incorporate. Add the salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, 5-7 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
• Heat 2-3 (5 - 7 cm) inches of oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat until it reaches 325°F (170°C).
• Add the panko to a shallow dish and stir in 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Add the eggs to a separate shallow dish. Add the flour to a third shallow dish and stir in the remaining teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
• Remove the chicken rolls from the fridge and coat in the flour, then the eggs, then the bread crumbs.
• Fry the breaded chicken rolls in the hot oil for about 5 minutes per side, or until the outside is an even golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). You may need to work in batches, so as not to overcrowd the pan. If a good color is achieved and the chicken's center is still not to temperature, place the chicken on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven at 325°F (170°C) until the proper temperature is reached. Once the proper internal temperature is reached, place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with paper towels and a wire rack to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
• Slice the chicken rolls and serve over a bed of spaghetti with the béchamel sauce and a green salad alongside.
• Enjoy!
