  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 1 cup all-purpose or white whole wheat flour (5 oz) plus more for dusting

– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt drained if any liquid is present

– 8 ounces cooked chicken breast sliced (about 2 cups)

– 1/2 cup marinara sauce

– 3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

– 1 egg

Instructions

1-Diving into making Crispy Chicken Parmesan Rolls is straightforward and fun, starting with simple prep work. First, gather your ingredients and preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to set the stage. This ensures everything flows smoothly from start to finish.

2-Follow these steps closely for the best outcome. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to create the base for your dough. Then, mix in 1 cup of non-fat Greek yogurt until you get small crumbles, which helps build that light texture.

3-Assembling and Baking the Rolls Once your dough is ready, divide it into four equal balls, each about 3-3/8 ounces. Roll each one on a floured surface into a thin round about 7 inches across. For the filling, spread 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce down the center, add 1/2 cup sliced chicken, drizzle another tablespoon of sauce, and sprinkle 3 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

4-Fold the dough over the filling and seal it tight, then brush with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake on a lined sheet for 20 minutes until they’re nicely browned. If you want more chicken ideas, try our honey-lemon chicken green beans for a fresh twist.

5-This method guarantees a crispy outside with a gooey inside, perfect for any meal. Remember to let them cool a bit before serving to avoid burns, and pair with extra marinara for dipping. It’s all about making cooking enjoyable and stress-free.

Notes

🥗 This recipe uses yogurt-based dough for a healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken rolls.
❄️ Baked rolls freeze well; thaw overnight and reheat or bake from frozen with longer time.
🥄 Use thick Greek yogurt for best protein content and dough texture.
