Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
24 slice genoa salami or pepperoni
6 slice provolone cheese
18 asparagus spears
1 jar(s) classico tomato & basil pasta sauce (24 oz.), divided
1/4 c parmesan or romano cheese
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the three chicken breasts on cutting board.
  • 2. Cut chicken breasts in half.
  • 3. Place one halved chicken breast in a 1 gallon plastic zip lock bag or something comparable. Do not zip bag closed.
  • 4. Pound to 1/4 - inch thick. I used a mallet that worked very well.
  • 5. Set aside pounded half and pound the other chicken breast halves.
  • 6. Take one of the pounded halves and season to taste with salt & pepper.
  • 7. Place 4 Salami slices or cover with Pepperoni slices on chicken. I used Turkey Pepperoni.
  • 8. Place one slice of Provolone Cheese on Salami or Pepperoni.
  • 9. Add 3 asparagus spears in center of breast.
  • 10. Roll up and secure with toothpick(s). Repeat with the rest of the chicken. Oops! I forgot to take a picture so I'm showing the kind of pasta sauce you need to buy!
  • 11. Spread 1/2 cup of Classico Sauce on bottom of an 11x7 or larger baking dish.
  • 12. Place chicken in dish smooth side facing up.
  • 13. Top with remaining sauce.
  • 14. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. I used Parmesan and Jack Cheeses. Bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is done.
  • 15. I made 5 servings. I sent two home with my sister and cooked three for my household. I had two asparagus spears left and just placed them in the baking dish with the chicken rolls. You can serve with a white rice, a wild rice, a pasta of your choice or quinoa. Enjoy!
