Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Chicken: Brush each chicken cutlet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper. (2 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Prepare the Spinach: Ensure the thawed spinach is completely drained of excess water. Season with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. (5 minutes)

03

Step
8 mins

Assemble the Saltimbocca: Place one slice of prosciutto, one slice of provolone, and a thin layer of seasoned spinach on each chicken cutlet. Sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese. (10 minutes)

04

Step
7 mins

Roll and Secure: Beginning at the short, tapered end, tightly roll up each chicken cutlet. Secure with a toothpick to prevent unraveling during cooking. (8 minutes)

05

Step
10 mins

Sear and Simmer: Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken rolls in the skillet and sear on all sides until lightly browned. Pour in the white wine. (5 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Cook to Perfection: Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer until the wine has reduced by half, and the chicken is cooked through and its juices run clear. This should take approximately 20 minutes. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

For best results, use high-quality prosciutto and provolone.
Be sure to thoroughly drain the spinach to prevent a soggy filling.
Toothpicks are essential for keeping the rolls intact during cooking; remove them before serving.
Serve immediately with a side of pasta or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
