Photo: Chicken Rollatini with Ditalini Recipe
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 2 pounds ditalini pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
- 8 ounces thinly sliced ham
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves, chopped
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Cook ditalini according to package directions. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper.
Arrange chicken breasts on a flat surface. Top each piece of chicken with ham. Mix together spinach and goat cheese and spread over ham. Starting from the shorter end, roll up chicken and secure with wooden picks. Brush mustard all over chicken rolls and then roll in bread crumbs.
Heat remaining oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken rolls and cook until golden brown on all sides.
Transfer chicken to oven and bake 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
Serve chicken with half of the ditalini. Reserve extra ditalini for another dish.

Really good!! Like other reviewers I sauteed the spinach in olive oil with some garlic first. Also, I didn't have goat cheese so I used a mixture of asiago and mozzarella. Will definitely make again with the goat cheese. Umm!

Have made this recipe several times - husband LOVES it! Lots of flavor and chicken is cooked perfectly tender. I didn't have goat cheese (family not big on it so I substituted with Rondele herb garlic cheese - so tasty! Another great go-to recipe! I can't wait to make it for my friends and inlaws in FL. Thanks a bunch!
