Super Simple Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Cutlets

Tonight, youngest son came to have dinner with us...and he really loves both chicken and mushrooms...so I made a quick and simple dinner using chicken breast cutlets, sauce and cheese.  Using a meat mallet, I pounded chicken breast cutlets until they were about 1/8" thick.  I cut fresh mozzarella cheese into rectangular pieces and placed it in the center of each cutlet, then sprinkled lightly with a little Italian seasoning and rolled them up tightly and placed seam side down in a casserole dish coated with a thin layer of spicy Rao's Arrabbiata sauce.  Once they were all rolled and placed, I topped them with a couple cups of cooked sliced fresh mushrooms that I sauteed in a little olive oil with sea salt and black pepper.  I poured the rest of the sauce over the top of the chicken bundles and mushrooms, layered it with the rest of the fresh mozzarella and some Italian 6-cheese blend and baked it covered at 375 degrees for about 35 minutes, then uncovered it and baked it an additional 10 minutes and ran it under the broiler for a couple of minutes more until the cheese was lightly browned and bubbly.  I served it alongside some zucchini pasta (made with my Spirelli).  It was quick, simple and delicious!  I snapped a quick picture for you to see below.  Enjoy!

BOOM!

Thanks, SLB! So happy you've found some recipes you like! It was just a simple and easy recipe to put together. The hands on time was minimal with most of the time involved waiting for it to bake! :-) Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks so much Maria! I hope you enjoy it. If you have fresh basil leaves available -- I would put one of those in along with the cheese when you roll them up (instead of dried Italian seasoning) -- I just didn't have any fresh available. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for your kind comments! :-)

Hi GG,
You wrote about using a *spirelli* gadget. I am wondering if a person(moi) with very bad hands and wrists(RA) would be able to handle this tool? My right hand is almost useless now. Just thought I asked you before I purchase one.
Thank you GG, I am just dying to prepare the zucchini noodles!

Hi Barbara -- if you have trouble with your wrists/hands -- particularly the right hand, it might be difficult to use. You have to grasp the zucchini (which can be a bit slippery) and keep twisting it around to make the noodles. There is another kind of cutter that other people use -- a spiral cutter that might work better for you. Here is one I've seen people talk about (from Amazon). It isn't too expensive either -- about $26.00 or so at Amazon. I also have one that is a julienne vegetable peeler...but again might be difficult if you have any hand/wrist problems. Check out this one and see what you think -- there are 779 reviews of it, mostly positive. Hope that helps! :-) http://www.amazon.com/World-Cuisine-A4982799-Tri-Blade-Vegetable/dp/B0007Y9WHQ

Hi GG, as usual you came through for me! I am ordering the new spiral cutter and am looking forward to using it! The reviews are excellent and I spent way too much time reading them!
thank you so much for helping again. I feel guilty taking so much of your valuable time .
I must say that your website is by far the best, I did a lot of browsing, there are so many grain free sites now, but I find yours " un cluttered and easy to use!
I still do not know How you manage it all!
TANK YOU GG!

Hi Barbara! Thanks so much! Glad I could help out. You will have to let me know if you like it once you get it. I've thought about ordering one too...but I have so many gadgets and only so much room to store them! I still may get it some day -- after I make room for it! Hope you enjoy it! :-)

Hi GGC,

Had this a couple days ago and we both thought it was delicious! I used my trusty Mouli for the "pasta." Perfecto!

Hi CyberSis! So glad you enjoyed it! I need to make it again soon, too! :-)
