2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
1/2 cup chicken broth |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |

fresh oregano sprig (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. Version 1: lot's of work, but impressive looking.
2. Cut each cheese slice in half; place 1 half on top of each cutlet.
3. Starting with the short end, tightly roll up cutlets, jelly-roll style.
4. Tie securely with string.
5. On waxed paper, combine flour and pepper.
6. Mix well.

11. Increase heat; bring to a boil.
12. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer thickened, about 10 to 12 minutes.
13. Remove string.

15. To prepare the chicken rolls, tightly roll up cheese-topped cutlets, then tie securely with string so the rolls hold their shape during cooking.
