These yummy chicken rollettes are seasoned with garlic, packed with prosciutto, creamy provolone and fresh basil, grilled to perfection and served with pasta, red sauce and a garlicky Caesar salad. Hello, summer!
It’s warming up, people! Which means – outdoor/grilling/swimming season!! (Actually, in AZ, it’s that season all year round – but for the rest of you, YAY!!). You might know me in real life (Hi Mum!), and if you do – you know I love being outside with a glass of wine in hand.
It’s pretty easy, and I think it looks fancy enough to serve company.

We almost always have a box of Black Box Chardonnay in our fridge Kylee! It really is a decent wine for every day (and we have a glass of wine every day). I’m in McAllen, TX. near the Gulf of Mexico, and our grilling season is year-round also… Your rollettes look like they’d be perfect any time in McAllen!
Kylee
I totally have a glass anytime I can. Lol. It’s just so easy to grab from the fridge!
Lucy
These look so elegant and perfect for spring. My husband loves provolone, so I can’t wait to try this recipe out.
Kylee
Thanks, Lucy – I bet he’ll really enjoy this 🙂
Tracy | Baking Mischief
The convenience of that wine for cooking (and drinking) is a great argument for keeping a box in your fridge! And that is some good looking chicken. Prosciutto and provolone are always a winner when paired with chicken!
Renee Nicole's Kitchen
My policy is that you should never cook with a wine that you don’t want to drink. Thankfully, Black Box wine is worthy of the glass and convenient for cooking too! Your recipe looks delicious!
Kylee
I have the same policy! I really enjoyed the Black Box wine, now I have to try some other varieties!
Jamie Gates
Yes I do want to come over! Everything looks delicious and I like how there is enough wine for a party 😉
Kelly
This looks so flavorful and fresh – just perfect for summer and a day outside by the pool! #client
Kate
Box wine has come so far from the time I was in college.
Molly ~ EasycookingwithMolly
The Rollettes looks so juicy and perfect with a glass of wine. Love the easy recipe.
Erin @ Thanks for Cookin'!
Love Black Box wine! (In fact I’ll be at a family birthday party tonight which will most likely include a box, or two!) We are FINALLY getting into grilling season up here in North Dakota so after some steaks, these Rollettes will be on my menu soon! YUM!
Beth
I love Black Box! It’s so economical without sacrificing the flavor. I too am not not totally coordinated (especially after a few glasses) so I found these huge lucite white wine glasses that are the only thing that goes out on the back patio! Oh yay, the chicken looks awesome too,lol!
Treat Yourself Sweeter
Ummm… hello YUM! These sound fabulous. It is cooling down here in Australia, but we love a BBQ and I could definitely see me prepping these… and then sending the guys outside to cook them in the cold 😉
LindySez
I love chicken rolls and these look really good.
Charla @ That Girl Cooks Healthy
