Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Rest Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients 

  • 4 large chicken breasts
  • 7 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage, (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons butter, (melted)
  • cups low-carb breadcrumbs, (can substitute ground pork rinds or almond flour)
  • 4 thin slices lean prosciutto

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 in x 13 inch baking dish with oil or butter.
  • Cover the chicken breast with plastic wrap, then pound to an even thickness with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin. The chicken breasts should be ¼ – ⅓ inch thickness.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, fresh herbs, dried Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix the lemon juice and melted butter. Add the low-carb breadcrumbs to a separate shallow bowl.
  • One at a time, dip each chicken breast into the butter and lemon mixture.
  • Next, dip the breast in the breadcrumbs.
  • Finally, place the coated chicken breast on a clean plate. Lay a slice of prosciutto on top.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of the herbed ricotta mixture, spreading it evenly over the chicken and prosciutto.
  • Roll the chicken into a tight roll and place it in the prepared baking dish.
  • Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
  • Bake the chicken for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, then remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes.

Notes

This recipe is for 4 servings of rollatini. Each serving will be 1 chicken breast.
To lower the carbs, substitute the low-carb bread crumbs with ground pork rinds or almond flour.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 days.
