Main Ingredients Needed

• Chicken Cutlets – try to make sure the chicken cutlets are very similar in size so the chicken cooks evenly.
• Stove Top Stuffing Mix - 6 ounce box size; prepared according to the instructions on the box.
• Flour - I used all purpose flour for this recipe.
• Butter - to help us make the roux which will help make the gravy.
• Poultry Seasoning - I sprinkled about a teaspoon of this on top of each chicken cutlet.
• Chicken Broth
• Oil and Butter - to be used in the cast iron pan.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Lay the chicken cutlets on a piece of parchment paper. Make sure they are thin by using a meat mallet if necessary.

Step 2: Top each flattened chicken cutlet with approximately 2 tablespoons of the prepared Stove Top Stuffing mix.

Step 3: Gently roll each chicken cutlet into a tight bundle, securing with a toothpick. If any stuffing spills out, simply tuck it back in.

Step 4: Heat the butter and oil in a heavy cast iron pan.

Step 5: Gently place the chicken roll-ups into the pan and cook until lightly browned on all sides.

Step 6: Transfer the browned chicken roll-ups to a plate and set them aside to rest while you create the delicious gravy.

Make the Homemade Chicken Gravy

Step 7: In the same cast iron pan, add the butter and allow it to melt. Then add the flour.

Step 8: Cook the flour for a minute or two until slightly browned. Then add the chicken broth and cook until thickened.

Baking Instructions

Step 9: Place the rolled up chicken cutlets back in the pan with the gravy. Then place the cast iron pan in a preheated 385°F oven.

When are Chicken and Stuffing Roll Ups Done?

Bake the chicken cutlets for approximately 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a digital meat thermometer.

Storage, Thawing and Reheating Tips

Refrigerate: Let the chicken cool completely to room temperature and then place in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag for up to 3-4 days.

Freezer: If you plan to freeze the leftovers, wrap the chicken tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before placing it in an airtight container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2-3 months.

Thawing: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Reheat: Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also reheat in a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat.
