As a Weight Watchers devotee myself, I was so excited to hear about the launch of the new program and the inclusion of chicken on the zero point list! It opens up a whole world of possibilities for delicious and healthy meals. We all know chicken is a great lean protein source, but let’s be honest, sometimes the same old recipes can get a little repetitive. That’s why I love finding creative ways to incorporate chicken into my meals to keep things interesting! This prosciutto mozzarella roll is the perfect example.
They’re incredibly flavorful and satisfying, and let me tell you, they were a runaway success in my household. The best part? They come together in no time at all and only clock in at 2 Weight Watchers points each. So, if you’re looking for a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy chicken that won’t break the bank on your points budget, you have to try these rolls!
Three reasons why you need to make this recipe!
These are a fun, healthy dinner option.
You don’t have to worry about having bland chicken again and again just because you’re on a diet. These prosciutto mozzarella rolls are just 2 points each, meaning you could have at least 2 for dinner!
It’s a great meal prep option for work lunches.
Make a batch of these on a Sunday, and you can have a fun Weight Watcher’s approved lunch ready for throughout the week. I suggest just popping one or two in the air fryer to crisp them back up.
Prosciutto Mozzarella Rolls are great for entertaining.
Make these for your next dinner party! Your guests will think you’re a whiz in the kitchen, and you don’t have to miss out on entertaining due to diet restrictions.
Ingredients you need to make Prosciutto Mozzarella Roll:

- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 1 egg
- Juice of half a lemon
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
How to make Prosciutto Mozzarella Roll (step by step):
- Sautee the diced peppers and onions in a frying pan with a little cooking spray for 5 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400F, and spray a baking dish with some non-stick cooking spray.

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 ๐ sure I don’t see why not ๐
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

Thank you so much for your inspiration and recipes! I made the procuitto chicken following your recipe almost exactly. My rolling skills didnโt 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 didnโt have fresh).
It was AMAZING! My family loved it too!
So glad you enjoyed it, yeah sometimes the rolling can be tricky, but it all taste the same ๐
What level fat mozzarella did you use?
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!
Haha, yeah I hear you, I bet they would still taste good with ham ๐ 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 Iโm a little extra, haha. This was fantastic though, thanks so much, Kate!
Hi Caitlyn, yay so glad you enjoyed them ๐
