Difficulty: Easy
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4 people
Cost: about $1.20 per serving
What you need
12 thin chicken cutlets (about 2 lbs total)
6 medium artichokes (or about 12 oz canned or frozen artichokes, drained)
12 slices cooked ham
12 slices Cheddar cheese (or any good melting cheese)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
How to prepare it
Step 1: Cook the artichokes
If using fresh artichokes, clean and slice them very finely. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet, add the artichokes, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Assemble the rolls
Lay out each chicken cutlet. Place one slice of ham, some cooked artichokes, and a slice of cheese on top. Roll tightly and secure with wooden toothpicks.
Step 3: Cook the rolls
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Place the rolls seam-side down and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides and fully cooked through.
Step 4: Serve
Remove toothpicks before serving. Serve hot, with a side salad, roasted potatoes, or crusty bread.
Tips & Tricks
For faster prep, you can use canned or frozen artichokes instead of fresh.
Mozzarella, provolone, or fontina also work well in place of Cheddar.
Add a splash of white wine to the skillet while cooking for extra flavor.
