Cook's Tips

To prepare the chicken rolls, tightly roll up the cheese-toped cutlets and then tie securely with string so the rolls hold their shape during cooking.

If cutlets are unavailable at your local market, simply pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves between 2 sheets of waxed paper to a ¼-inch thickness.
