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.
