Italian Chicken Roll-Ups

 Ingredients 

1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese 

4 slices capacola-hot Italian  ham

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Freshly ground pepper to taste

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets

1/2 cup Italian seasoned dry breadcrumbs

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon butter 

Directions

Preheat oven to 375F

Pound the cutlets between pieces of plastic wrap to ¼ inch.

Place 1 tablespoon of grated mozzarella cheese on each slice of ham. Fold the ham in half and lay it on top of the cutlets. Starting at the narrow end of the cutlets roll the cutlets up and divide with toothpicks.

Brush each with mustard and coat in the breadcrumbs.

Heat the butter and oil in an oven-proof skillet. Add the chicken rolls and brown them on all sides. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
