Ingredients: 

  • 21.2 ounces chicken breast 
  • 2.5 ounces prosciutto 
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese 
  • 2 tablespoons pesto 
  • Butter 
  • Olive oil 
  • Salt and pepper 

Instructions: 

Carefully slice the chicken breasts lengthwise, creating a pocket that you can open up. Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and cover it with plastic wrap. Pound the chicken breast to flatten it evenly. Lay a large piece of foil on the countertop. Arrange the chicken breasts on the foil, creating a rectangular shape without overlapping. Lay the prosciutto on top of the chicken breasts. Spread the cream cheese and pesto evenly over the prosciutto. Roll up the chicken breasts as tightly as possible. Refrigerate the roulade overnight. Remove the foil and tie the roulade securely with kitchen twine. Heat a knob of butter and a splash of olive oil in a pan. Season the roulade with salt and pepper, then sear it on all sides until golden brown. Transfer the roulade to an ovenproof dish and roast for about 45-60 minutes until cooked through. The internal temperature of the roulade should reach 158 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow the roulade to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into rounds. Serve with a delicious dipping sauce of your choice.
