Ingredients

  • 4 pastured chicken cutlets
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 slices prosciutto
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • ½ lemon
  • 4 skewers

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Place each chicken cutlet between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or heavy pan, pound evenly to ½ inch thickness.
  3. Lay the chicken on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, oregano, and crushed red pepper.
  5. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken pieces. Top with provolone, prosciutto, and 2 tablespoons of parsley.
  6. Roll the cutlets to enclose the filling and secure with 2 parallel skewers, placing 2 cutlets on each of the skewers.
  7. Drizzle with oil and grill for 5 minutes per side to get grill marks.
  8. Transfer the skewers off direct heat and continue to grill over indirect heat for another 10-1 minutes, turning after 5 minutes. Temperature should register 170°F.
  9. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes, then remove from the skewers. Squeeze lemon over the cutlets and garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.
