Chicken Florentine Roulades
These Chicken Florentine Roulades are easy to prepare for a weeknight dinner and full of flavor your whole family will love. Stuffed with provolone cheese, prosciutto and spinach and then lightly breaded in seasoned breadcrumbs, I love how these seems a little fancy when really they’re so simple. I actually got the idea for these when my husband brought something similar home from the ready-to-be-cooked area of the grocery store and I knew I could recreate them to be lightened up and just as delicious. We actually liked these ones more! Plus each of these Chicken Florentine Roulades are just 398 calories or 7 WW Points!

Chicken Florentine Roulades
Ingredients
- 2 (6 oz each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ½ oz sliced Provolone cheese
- 1 oz sliced prosciutto
- ½ cup torn fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 egg white, beaten
- ¼ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside.
- Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a meat mallet, pound the breasts to a ¼ inch thickness. Divide the provolone, prosciutto and spinach between the two breasts and layer them across the surface. Starting with a short side, roll each breast up and seal the edges shut using a few toothpicks.
- Place the rolled and sealed breasts in a Ziploc bag and add the flour. Lightly flip the bag around until chicken is coated. Place the beaten egg white in a shallow dish and the breadcrumbs in a second shallow dish. Remove each rolled breast from the flour bag and dip it in the egg white, turning to coat. Then move the coated breast to the breadcrumb dish and coat it with crumbs on all sides. Place the completed rolls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly mist the tops of the breaded breasts with olive oil cooking spray.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Don’t forget to remove the toothpicks before serving!

I just made these for dinner tonight. They were amazing! Very fancy but easy to prepare. I went exactly by your instructions. My husband loved them. Thanks for all your great recipes.
Emily or Joan:
Were they dry at all?
I love make-ahead chicken dishes but often find, particularly with a crust, that they end up pretty dry w/o an accompanying sauce/marinade, etc.
Any suggestions if I decide to add one?
Thx, m fitz
I didn’t find it dry, but maybe you’d like this recipe better since it has a sauce? https://emilybites.com/2018/05/crispy-cheddar-chicken-with-cream-sauce.html
Very helpful advice in this particular post! It’s the little changes that make the largest changes. Thanks for sharing!
New to your blog. Thank you for a great recipe. It came out great.

I make these often. When we go past the prosciutto at the grocery store, the teens badger me to buy it to make your chicken Florentine Roulades! Yum!
