Chicken Parmesan Rolls
On Long Island and in many pizzerias, Chicken Rolls are a popular item: breaded chicken cutlets, marinara and cheese rolled inside pizza dough. To make a healthier home version, this recipe uses grilled chicken breast and a simple yogurt-based dough that keeps the rolls tender and adds extra protein. The combination of tangy marinara, melty mozzarella and savory chicken wrapped in homemade dough is comfort food done lighter.
This version is easy to prepare and well suited for families. The rolls bake quickly at a high temperature so the dough becomes golden and crisp while the cheese inside melts. Serve them with extra marinara for dipping and a green salad on the side for a balanced meal.
Key highlights of the recipe:
- Uses Greek yogurt in the dough for texture and added protein
- Grilled chicken instead of fried cutlets for a lighter meal
- Simple assembly—roll, fold, egg wash, bake
- Freeze well after baking for quick future meals
