Caprese chicken rolls with basil
Italian chicken rolls with mozzarella, tomato and basil, a refined Phase 1 dinner with few carbohydrates.
Caprese chicken rolls with basil elevate a familiar Italian dish to a refined level. Thinly pounded chicken fillet is filled with creamy mozzarella, juicy tomato and fragrant basil, then pan-fried until golden brown. An elegant dinner that looks impressive yet is very simple, and fits effortlessly within a protein-rich diet.
In Phase 1 strict and low-carb apply, and these rolls meet that perfectly. The chicken fillet forms a solid protein base which is complemented by the mozzarella, while tomato and basil add virtually no carbs. That protein-rich combination delivers lasting satisfaction and supports your muscle maintenance, so you get through this starting phase comfortably and without hunger.
Delicious with a fresh salad of rocket and cucumber with a few drops of balsamic, or a spoonful of warm passata with garlic as sauce underneath.
