Ingredients
  

Core Ingredients
  • 4 large Chicken Breasts approx. 1.5 lbs / 680g, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese 250g, full fat for best texture
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Parsley 15g, finely chopped and divided
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil 30ml, for searing
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter 15g, for pan juices
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder 3g
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt divided
  • 1 tsp Cracked Black Pepper divided

Equipment

  • 1 Meat Mallet Used for pounding chicken breasts to a uniform thickness.
  • 1 Large Skillet Stainless steel or cast iron is preferred for the best sear.
  • 12 Toothpicks Used to secure the rolls during cooking.

Method
 

Preparation and Searing
  1. Butterfly and pound the chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet between plastic wrap.
  2. Combine ricotta, half the parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl until herbs are evenly distributed.
  3. Spread filling on chicken, roll tightly, and secure with toothpicks.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden-brown caramelization appears.
  5. Remove chicken to rest. Add butter to the hot pan, scrape the bottom to release juices, and drizzle over sliced chicken rounds.

Notes

Ensure the pan is shimmering hot before adding chicken to get that golden-brown crust.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep the ricotta from leaking.
