Ingredients

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced lengthways to form 6 cutlets
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper
4 slices prosciutto
4 slices provolone cheese cut in half
8 medium fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Prep the chicken

Pound 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced lengthways to form 6 cutlets in a zip-lock bag, until they are around a quarter inch thick.
Combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper in a small bowl, and use it to season the chicken.
Lay the chicken breasts on the counter.

Stuff the chicken

Lay prosciutto, provolone and basil on each one.
4 slices prosciutto, 4 slices provolone cheese, 8 medium fresh basil leaves

Roll up and tie

Roll them up, using the smallest point in the center.
Tie 2 pieces of kitchen string around each piece to keep it together. Brush with 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Cook the chicken

Preheat the grill to medium high.
Grill the chicken over medium heat, with the lid closed unless turning, until brown/golden on all sides, about 12-15 minutes, turning every 3 minutes.
Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

Serve

Remove the twine from the chicken pieces before serving.
Devour.

Notes

Chicken Temperature

Chicken is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F when tested with a digital meat thermometer in the thickest part.

Oven baked

We use our grill to get those delicious flavors infused with a little smoke and char, but you can easily switch it up and bake in the oven in a greased baking dish with a rack, or use an air fryer. They typically need 20-30 minutes baking time depending on thickness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
