Bistro Chicken And Tomato Rolls Recipe Video
Hi Everyone! I host a little internet show called "2 for 10 (with Melissa)". ALL of my recipes follow the same three rules: Dinner for 2, it must cost less than $10, and it has to be prepared in 20 minutes or less. Look, I have a full-time job, and I just don't have the time to cook big meals. But I'm sick of Take-Out, and I refuse fast food. That's where the 2 for 10 method comes in! Enjoy!

Main IngredientChicken
Ingredients
- 2 chicken cutlets
- 1 can of diced tomatoes (I got a can pre-seasoned with basil, onion, garlic, and oregano)
- 1 small can of chopped black olives
- 1 small jar of roasted red peppers
- 3 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese
- 8-10 toothpicks soaking in water
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- Salt, pepper, powdered garlic, minced onion, 2 pieces of wax paper, and olive oil
Directions
1) Lay the chicken cutlets out on wax-paper, and season one side with garlic and pepper.
2) Lay ANOTHER piece of wax paper over the cutlets, and whack the crap out of them with a mallet or skillet (my choice). What we're doing is wideneing and flattening the cutlets even further.
3) Mix the olives, peppers, 2/3 of the cheese, 2 tablespoons or chopped roasted red peppers (or one good slice, if that's the type you bought) and 1/2 can of diced tomatoes in a bowl and mix with a spatula or spoon. This is our roll-up filling.
4) Spoon the filling onto the chicken cutlets, and carefully "roll" them up. Use the toothpicks to hold the roll-ups in their new form. Season the exposed side with more pepper and garlic.
5) Put a pan on medium flame and lightly coat the bottom with olive oil. Place the roll-ups in the pan. You're going to turn the roll-ups until they're lightly brown on all sides.
6) Pour 1/2 of chicken broth into the pan. Also use some minced onion to season the mixture. This should cook for another 6-8 minutes, depending on the size of your cutlets. Don't forget to remove the toothpicks before plating them!
7) Now that your roll-ups are all situated for the time-being, we can move onto the red-pepper sauce. Pull out your food processor, and dump in 1/2 jar of the roasted red peppers, 2 tablespoons of your leftover chicken broth, and some pepper. Blend until smooth.
8) You're done! Use any left-over olives and parmesan cheese as garnish! Personally, I cut up the rolls and put the sauce underneath the chicken, but you might want to keep them whole and cover them with sauce. It's up to you!
