Rolled Chicken

This dish is one of those comfort food Sunday Dinner meals. It takes a little bit of time to prepare but it is worth the effort and plus maybe you have had a rough day and all the beating you have to do on the meat will get out any frustration you may or may not have:) This is honestly one of my favorite meals, when asked growing up what I wanted for my birthday dinner I frequently remember asking for this chicken. My mom was and is a wonderful cook and baker, my Aunt Karen her sister is a dynamite baker, her pies and cheesecakes are delicious!!! I got blessed with their talent!

You start out by beating you Chicken breast till they are very thin, when you think you have pounded them down enough keep going a little longer:)

Season them with salt and pepper and spread some melted butter on them.

Spread 1-2 teaspoons of Grey Poupon on each Chicken Breast, depending on how much you like Dijon, I really like it but I meet halfway because my husband is not as favorable to it.

Next do a very generous layer of Monetary Jack cheese on top about 1/4-1/2 cup on each Chicken breast, yes generous is key. Then Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of Italian Seasoning evenly over the Chicken Breasts. I topped a few with Kale as an experiment and really liked it, so add some Kale to yours if you wish.

Next roll them up and secure them with toothpicks, I find it is much easier to dredge and roll them in the flour,eggs, and breadcrumbs this way:) I recently just went to my first Pampered Chef party and I purchased these AMAZING coating trays they are fantastic! 

Roll them in Flour, Egg Wash, and Italian Breadcrumbs. Fry them in some butter and olive oil in a skillet till browned on each side.

Pour 2 Tablespoons melted butter on top and sprinkle some Monetary Jack Cheese on them and bake them in the oven @ 350 for 30 minutes.

Serve with your desired vegetables and enjoy. Perfect for a delicious comforting Sunday dinner and I think even better the next day for leftovers!!
