With the launch of the new weight watchers freestyle program and the list of the new zero point foods including chicken, I wanted to play around with some new recipes that are simple and tasty! I love chicken as much as the next person but I need to keep the creative ways to eat it rolling or I will get bored really quick.. These prosciutto & mozzarella rolls are delicious and so satisfying, they were a big hit in my house. They take very little time to prepare and just 3 freestyle smart points each..
Prosciutto & mozzarella chicken rolls
3 SP blue & purple, 4SP on green/5PP per serving
Ingredients
- 3- 6 oz boneless skinless chicken breast cut open in two (If your following freestyle you do not need to worry if they weigh more than the 6oz)
- 2 oz prosciutto
- 3 oz mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup diced red pepper
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 1 egg
- Juice of half a lemon
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Sautee your diced peppers & onions in a frying pan with a little cooking spray for 5 minutes
- Preheat oven to 400F, spray a baking dish with some non-stick spray.
- Mix your egg and lemon into a small dish, spread your breadcrumbs out onto a flat plate.
- Cut your 3 chicken breast open so you have 2- 3 oz pieces (approx)
- Divide your 2oz of prosciutto into 6 portions, approx 0.3oz in each roll.
- Place prosciutto on top of your chicken, top with 0.5oz of mozzarella, and a spoon of you pepper/onion mix, I also added a dash of pepper. Roll chicken up, use toothpicks if you need to.
- Dip your rolled chicken into your egg mix and then roll in breadcrumbs, place in baking dish and repeat with remaining chicken.
- Once all your chicken is rolled and in dish spray tops with a little cooking spray, bake in oven for 25 minutes.
- Serve warm, makes 6 chicken rolls.

If I'm too lazy to roll these, do you think it would work to dip one side of the chix in the bread crumbs, lay it flat in the pan, and then just top it with the prosciutto, mozz and mix?

haha sorry that made me giggle a little 😉 sure I don't see why not 🙂

Could I just use thin sliced breasts instead of having to try to split a full size breast? I can never get them sliced evenly
Melissa

Thank you so much for your inspiration and recipes! I made the procuitto chicken following your recipe almost exactly. My rolling skills didn’t work out, so instead I breaded the chicken and topped it with the remaining ingredients (I used roasted red peppers from the jar as I didn’t have fresh).
It was AMAZING! My family loved it too!
Drizzle
So glad you enjoyed it, yeah sometimes the rolling can be tricky, but it all taste the same 🙂
Angie
What level fat mozzarella did you use?
Drizzle
I use the reduced fat shredded mozzarella from Trader Joe's, it's 1 SP per 1oz (1/4 cup)

I made this last weekend and it was DELICIOUS. I wonder if subbing the Prosciutto for deli ham might be a bit more cost effective (though not nearly as good). (Only because I want to make this all the time but know I'll go broke buying prosciutto on the daily! ha! Anyway, thanks for this!
Drizzle
Haha, yeah I hear you, I bet they would still taste good with ham 🙂 So glad you enjoyed them

Just made this and I LOVE ITTTTT. I used a mixture of Panko crumbs and Parmesan for the breading and added just a teaspoon of garlic into the pepper/onion mix, because I’m a little extra, haha. This was fantastic though, thanks so much, Kate!

Hi Caitlyn, yay so glad you enjoyed them 🙂
