Gluten Free Chicken Rollatini

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Fast, easy and delicious recipe for gluten free chicken rollatini; a perfect dish for a busy evening.

Gluten Free Chicken Rollatini

Hello, friends!

Can you believe Thanksgiving is only three days away? I’m rushing to put the finishing touches on an extra special Thanksgiving post for you all filled with lots of gluten-free ideas for your Thanksgiving feast.

But first I have to share this recipe because it’s amazing and you’re going to love it.

It was the perfect dish for a very busy evening the other day when I was knee-deep in holiday preparations and needed to serve up something quick, easy, and delicious.

Seriously, this elegant dish really only takes fifteen minutes to prepare and ten minutes in the oven.

Gluten Free Chicken Rollatini

It’s inspired by one of my favorite recipes, Eggplant Rollatini, but I decided to put a new twist on it with chicken. My daughter, Nicole, is studying Italian and informed me that in Italy it would be called “Involtini di Pollo.” Yum, sounds so very sophisticated.

How To Make Chicken Rollatini

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

My Involtini di Pollo (or Chicken Rollatini, as I called them) are made with beautifully thin chicken scallopini, lightly seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

I carefully rolled up each piece of chicken with a slice of Swiss Cheese in the center.

Then, I arranged three small bowls on the counter. In the first, I mixed half a cup of gluten-free flour with paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In the second, gluten-free breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Yes, garlic powder might be a secret ingredient here. 😉 And, finally, in the last bowl, I whisked an egg together with one tablespoon of milk.

Now we’re coming to the fun part.

Each little chicken roll gets dredged first in the flour, then in the egg and milk, and lastly in the breadcrumbs. Next, I cooked the rolls in a skillet for three minutes on each side with a little butter and oil until they were golden.

I then popped them in the oven where they baked for ten minutes.

And they’re ready to devour! Ecco gli Involtini di Pollo!

Nicole covered the rolls in marinara sauce and gently sprinkled them with Parmesan cheese and parsley. She exclaimed, “Sono buonissimi!”

Pro Tips and Recipe Notes

  • If you’re making homemade sauce, I recommend starting it an hour before you begin the rollatini and simmer it on the back burner.
  • Make sure to prep all of your ingredients before you start cooking because this dish comes together fast.

I love when cooking turns into an impromptu foreign language lesson. 😉 And I also love how the beautiful red marinara sauce and the green parsley give this dish a dash of Christmas colors, making it perfect for a quick and festive holiday dinner.

Buon Appetito!

    In our house, we are kosher – not mixing milk and meat. I wonder if this recipe can be fine-tuned. Anything that takes under 15 minutes to prepare and tastes good is a winner.

      Yes, try rolling the chicken with kosher salami. Now that is yummy. Substitute water for the tablespoon of milk, saute in oil (no butter) and garnish only with parsley (no cheese). 🙂

      You can also roll the chicken with spinach, if you prefer!
