Chicken and Stuffing Roll Ups

Main Ingredients Needed
This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.
- 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.
📌Cooking Tip: It's easier to roll up a thin chicken cutlet, so pound them using a meat mallet if necessary. Check out how I get thin chicken cutlets in the post, How to Make Thin Chicken Cutlets.
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: Spread about 2 tablespoons of prepared Stove Top Stuffing mix on top of each thin chicken cutlet.
- Step 3: Very carefully, roll the chicken cutlets up and secure with a toothpick. If you have some stuffing come out at the ends, it's okay, just gently push it back in.
- Step 4: Heat the butter and oil in a heavy cast iron pan.
- Step 5: Add the chicken roll ups to the pan and lightly brown them.
- Step 6: Remove them to a plate and set aside while you prepare the 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
- Place the rolled up chicken cutlets back in the pan with the gravy.
- Then place the cast iron pan in a preheated 385 degree oven.
When are Chicken and Stuffing Roll Ups Done?
- Allow the chicken cutlets to cook for about 20 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Use a digital meat thermometer to check.
