Ingredients

For the Roll-Ups:

  • 8 slices (approx. 12 oz) of thinly sliced chicken breast or large turkey cutlets

  • 1 cup (about 4 oz) shredded low-moisture, whole-milk mozzarella cheese

  • 24 slices pepperoni (approx. 2 oz)

  • ¼ cup sugar-free pizza sauce or marinara sauce (check labels for added sugars)

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For Topping & Serving:

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

  • Extra sugar-free pizza sauce, warmed (for dipping)

Equipment:

  • Toothpicks or kitchen twine

  • Parchment paper

  • Medium mixing bowl

  • Baking sheet

  • Meat mallet or rolling pin (optional, for thinning meat)


Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the “Dough” & Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. If your chicken or turkey slices are thick, place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even ¼-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking and easier rolling.

  3. Pat the meat slices dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.

Step 2: Create the Filling

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.

  2. Lay the seasoned meat slices flat on a clean work surface.

Step 3: Assemble the Roll-Ups

  1. Spread about 1½ teaspoons of the sugar-free pizza sauce evenly over each slice of meat, leaving a small border around the edges.

  2. Sprinkle a generous portion (about 2 tablespoons) of the seasoned mozzarella mixture down the center of each slice.

  3. Place 3 slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese on each slice.

  4. Carefully roll up each slice tightly, starting from the shorter end (like a jelly roll). Secure the seam with a toothpick to prevent unrolling during baking.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

  1. Place the secured roll-ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

  2. Sprinkle the tops evenly with the grated Parmesan cheese.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown.

  4. For an extra crispy finish, you can broil for the final 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Step 5: Rest & Serve

  1. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the roll-ups rest for 5 minutes. This allows the hot cheese filling to set slightly, making them easier to handle and slice.

  2. Carefully remove the toothpicks.

  3. Garnish with freshly chopped basil or parsley.

  4. Serve immediately with a side of warmed sugar-free pizza sauce for dipping
