  • 4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fat-free-low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 14.5 ounce can crushed San Marzano or fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 5 or 6 fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 thin (1/8-inch thick) chicken cutlets (4 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 6 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg white
  • Cooking spray
  • Instant polenta, for serving (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450. Cook the broth, garlic, tomatoes and basil in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper; place smooth-side down on a work surfae. Sprinkle with the parsley and mozzarella. Starting at the short end, roll up to enclose the filling. Secure with a toothpick.
3. Mix the parmesan and breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Put the egg white in another dish and beat until foamy.
4. Mist a cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Dip the chicken rolls in the egg white, then coat with the breadrumb mixture. Place in the skillet, seam-side down. Sprinkle with any remaining breadcrumbs and mist with cooking spray. Bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve with the tomato sauce, and polenta, if desired.
