Double Cheese Chicken Roll-Ups

Chicken Roll-Ups are a fast and easy weeknight dinner dish.  Double Cheese makes them super delicious.  A Yummy Family favourite.

These Double Cheese Chicken Roll-Ups have become one of our all time favourites.  Whenever my daughters would ask their friends over for lunch or dinner, these would definitely be on the menu.

Did you know that chicken is the number 3 most consumed meat in the world, right after Fish and the number one which is Pork?

It is also one of the cheaper meats to purchase.  So finding different ways to serve it is always a good thing.  One of my favourite ways is  Chicken Cacciatore, I love all that sauce that I can soak up with some good thick Italian Crusty bread.

My husband is not a big chicken lover but he does like these Chicken Roll-Ups. When we made our visit to Winnipeg this summer,  Ning made us her amazing Thai Coconut Chicken Soup.  My youngest daughter absolutely adores this soup (and I have to admit I do too).

Oh and my eldest daughter and I just go crazy for Baked Chicken Parmigiano.    I do try to find different and Tasty ways to Make Chicken and I think this Chicken Recipe is one of the best.

To make them, I used thin (but not too thin) slices of chicken, spread a little parsley butter on top, then I place a slice of baked ham and some shredded cheese.  I find the best cheese to use is Fontal, Swiss or even Firm Mozzarella.

Double Cheese Chicken Roll-Ups

I rolled them up, kept it all together with a toothpick or two and then rolled them in a bread crumb, Grated Parmesan Cheese and Spice Mixture.  I lightly greased a baking dish, added the chicken roll-ups sprinkled a little more bread crumb mixture and don’t forget a little drizzle of olive oil.

And in the oven they went for about 35 minutes.  Nice and crispy on top and all the wonderful melted cheese inside.  The perfect Dinner, Buon Appetito!
