Chicken involtini or chicken rolls stuffed with prosciutto and cheese are one of my go-to entrees when on a time crunch but still want something savory for dinner.
Just imagine juicy and tender chicken paired with slightly tangy prosciutto and super creamy provolone cheese all ready in less than 20 minutes!
My favorite part is to cut a chicken roll and see melted cheese leaking from the inside...yum-yum!!
Instead of Provolone cheese you can experiment with almost any type of your favorite cheese.
And if you want to take these involtini even to the next level, add a tablespoon of mushroom mix before rolling them up.
I like cooking my chicken rolls on the grill or grill pan for those beautiful AND flavorful grill marks but occasionally I would bake them in the oven in a casserole dish topped with tomato sauce and grated Parmesan cheese. And you can try that too!
In any case, the basic is super simple and then your imagination is the only limit 🙂
