Right after college, I worked on Broad street in downtown Manhattan. There used to be this place named Rosario's where we would often go to lunch. They made a delicious chicken involtini similar to this but with red sauce. The stuffing had ricotta in it. The inspiration for this recipe comes from them. You can always find the print recipe (link to my website or written out if not yet available) in the description above. Thanks for watching and liking my videos🙏

[@elenistamatakis9246]

I have eating with ricotta I didn't like it I like how you did

[@blueberryfuzz]

Love the story. Love the video. Now I'm hungry!

[@jerryoshea3116]

I hope u don't mind,but I just sent a message to the "Scalfani Toms Comp & recommended they take a look at ur channel! .Maybe they'll send u some "Freebies" or something(it will save u some hard earned $$$) or maybe they will stupidly ignore the message? ..I hope u don't mind?..I'm a firm believer in giving "Credit where it's due"&ur doing a splendid Job in helping a lot of people with their cooking while providing them with a lot of pleasure!!!👍👍☘️

[@SipandFeast]

@Jerry O'Shea - I really appreciate that. I don't reach out to brands since I just don't have the time, but I might have some help in the near future. I try to show the brands I like and use because it helps people know what I like to use while cooking for my own family. I could have taken another approach from the beginning, and put tape around the products or something lol, but that wouldn't be providing the most value. Thanks for the support!

[@jerryoshea3116]

Of course..I enjoy cooking,when I have the time(which isn't much..I work 7days an week) but ur style&methods are most appealing,as the comments testify to(even though I had an Italian Dude Lecturing me last week..My goodness they need 2b less lofty and inverted Snobs!,.Cultures change&my background is Irish so I'm hardly the one to make that argument) But ur setting an good example..Keep up the fine work👍&of course we must salute ur Tasters👍☘️.. But I do hope the Tom's Company read my email.. Anything that reduces ur Grocery Bil would be significant..👍☘️ from Sin City!..p.s I used to Watch Lydia on PBS .That produced many an inspirational effort!

[@brianking9424]

Parents raising their kids with flavor in their food made me tear up a bit. That boy is luckier than he will ever know

[@wkeil1981]

I was raised with a mother and grandmother that made a home cooked meal every night. I thought that was the norm. Boy was I wrong

[@zekelucente9702]

I did the same thing with my daughter growing up and now she’s 25 and a great cook. We share our cooking cooking by texts all the time in fact we’re doing it right now. I’m her dad by the way.

[@MrGray56]

Oh he'll find out when he tries eating other folks' food, or starts living with roomates/ partners. Im having that culture shock right now, and its jarring to look at folks and ask "you lived off eating... what...?"

[@comesahorseman]

👍👍

[@Lady_Boo]

​@wkeil1981 same here...as I got older and more mature, I started to watch the sanitation in the kitchens of the homes where I was invited...lol. Appalling! Thanks Mom, Dad, and grandma❤RIP

[@mariedrudi4889]

I don't know what I love more, the actual cooking, or watching this awesome dad interact with his son. How many kiddos even know what piccata is? Ugh, my heart just burst! You guys are too sweet.

[@mwilson3602]

You are the only cook that when my eight year old hears your voice, he comes running to see what you are making. The only thing is, he expects me to prepare whatever he sees you cook lol. He also likes your small plates.

[@SipandFeast]

That is really cute.

[@chuggaa100]

His plates are normal size.

[@hattree]

I love that you involve your son in this. It looks like a lot more fun that having to hold the flashlight under the hood of a car.

[@lisap.7996]

Lol 😂😂

[@dianareddell1496]

😂 yeah! Nothing soul crushing about tasting delicious food. Lucky duck!!

[@SteveG123]

A very well done version of this dish. The ingredients are so well suited to combine. James is tough, man. 8.5 He's pushing you to up your game. 😊

[@SipandFeast]

Lol. He doesn't let me rest.

[@steph990]

That kid is awesome.

[@forearthbelow]

@@SipandFeast Some may consider it parent abuse!!!! Love the recipe and format incl the distinctive jazzy music, kudos to all!

[@theornerytrilobite]

Rediscovered this channel a little recently and I'm so excited to cook all these great meals. Felt compelled to give you props on your production style too. Simple, clean, professional. Zero tropey youtube annoyances. Well done.

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks! The goal is to stay this way.

[@mikevedrani2758]

It’s nice to see parents involving the children in the kitchen. I have good memories helping my dad in the kitchen.

[@Samurai78420]

I can't believe I just found this channel. Instantly one of my favorites.

[@MHarenArt]

Super dish! Simple too! I love it when you have James do the taste tests. He's already got a pretty sophisticated pallet - not surprising when he grew up with you making the food. People who love to cook, LOVE people who love to eat!!!

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks! He is a good critic, lol.

[@danielpurgason3018]

I made this last night in my tiny kitchen in my studio apartment in Jackson Heights, Queens. This is among the most delicious dishes I've ever made. The butter, lemon, parsley, cheese, bread crumbs and mushrooms - all come together perfectly.

[@mezzafinook]

it's kind of funny you went out of your way to let us all know where you live just to say the recipe was great lol

[@PyrrhusBrin]

@@mezzafinook I'm commenting at work in California and I think it could just be their commenting style.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing your dish here. It is very nice the way you show your cooking style...Please continue to share your meals.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

You made me laugh in a nice way!!! Thank you for your son sharing his thoughts on your cool good meals..🙂🙂

[@mitchelltrio]

I am awful at cooking, and have been watching your videos for the simple and straightforward manner in which you present the information. Thank you for that. Also, I just love how your face lights up when you look at your son. It’s the cherry on top of all of this.

[@noelreasoner]

I moved to Australia with my Aussie husband several months ago. I am really missing some REAL Italian food. I stumbled across your channel and this recipe. Keep in mind that it's Winter in mid-July here, so I wanted something warm and yummy and ITALIAN! I could not find Fontina in the local grocery store, so I used Gruyere instead. This was THE BEST chicken recipe- and it would have been even better with Fontina, I know- but it was so amazing! I have saved at least a dozen of your recipes that I will be preparing in the near future! Thank you so much for your amazing channel!!!!

[@sharontillotson2622]

Fabulous as always and the great taste tester makes even better.Watching the love on your face watching him is priceless great to see a happy loving family interaction in this crazy world we live in.😊😊😊Thank you.

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks! I really appreciate you watching.

[@mycorona66]

Man your channel has really grown fast! Keep up the good work. Your channel is one of my favorite cooking channels on KZbin now.

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks very much! I appreciate you watching.

[@efanshel]

Definitely one of the best cooking shows on youtube. Thank you for your excellent work

[@SipandFeast]

So nice of you!

[@mrubiquity8090]

Your son has the best job ever. Another delicious recipe. Was never a fan of cooked spinach but this definitely makes me think otherwise. Thank you for sharing!

[@KeithandPamBilyeu]

Pam here…love how you look at your son, and then smile at the camera like you’re so proud of how he takes his ‘job’ so seriously!! Adorable.

[@paulocamargo896]

I usually do not post comments, but I like your videos. They are short but show the relevant learning steps, and focus on cooking... and not on trying to be funny or emphasizing your ego, or trying to come across as a "character." Rare these days. Thank you. I will keep watching them.

[@kingmatt54]

I've been making a version of this for myself ever since I first had it at Harry Caray's in Chicago. I go with a filling of layered prosciutto, provolone, and basil with a red sauce. This version looks fantastic.

[@uzi316]

4:34 "Let's roll one up" Damn right I am, and then I'm gonna eat that chicken. Solid recipe buddy.

[@themidnightgolfer6205]

At first, as a blind person, when I saw you prepping silently!I let out a grown! Then you explained yourself! Marvelous! And this looks so tasty! Keep up the fantastic job!😂

[@eleanorbertuch135]

James completely makes this a great lesson👍🥰

[@Lithium_82]

This recipe is up next. I've loved all of Jim's recipes so far. The Tuscan black pepper beef was my favorite so far.

[@cheftomsd]

Pounding the chicken in a ziplock bag, perfect. I saw Wolfgang Puck doing this and have been doing it ever since. Really makes clean up so much easier

[@FriendsFamilyKitchen]

Your recipes are really very delicious and amazing I love the way you cook and the way you represent. very nice.| Keep growing.❤❤

[@hepiemerton9047]

So glad I came across your channel. I subscribed. Your cooking looks simple, healthy and elegantly presented. I will sure try your recipes. I already have the ingredients.

[@jillcrompton3991]

omg. I just made the chicken, mushroom. marsala pasta. Shared with my son and his bride. I will certainly make the the chicken dish you've never heard of next weekend. Wonderful recipes! Thanks, Jill

[@debbiemarsh3626]

Jim, just have to say thank you for posting this recipe. Your channel has sparked an interest in cooking your recipes. It’s been fun! This chicken dish was fantastic, the dish looks elegant like from a 4 star restaurant. I’m now watching you and your wife’s new Podcast. Thank so much and best of luck to you and your family😊

Another fantastic dish! I'll be trying this one out.

My Italian cooking playlist is getting long, I noticed I had a lot of videos from S&F so I just subscribed. Thanks for making your recipes approachable. You’re a natural teacher and my family has eaten well because of you at least one weeknight a week.

Thank you.

[@timlewis9286]

I used to make something like that years ago, thanks for bringing back that memory!

[@sorenaleksander2670]

I remember watching Batali all the time absolutely messing with the French, making fun, giving credit for nothing. So it still makes me chuckle when an Italian chef even refuses to say the word "fond". So charming...

[@yunzers]

I made this and have to say it is the BEST chicken recipe ever. Thanks so much!

[@samholder196]

your channel is a tonic. thanks.

[@thomaspinter5352]

Enjoy your technique/ presentation and telling the size pan you're using. Keep up the good work.

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks very much.

[@cherylleung8698]

Looks great! I love the blend of ingredients you use for the filling, and will definitely be something I try next time. I do find that chicken breasts tend to overcook easily and get dry (mom complains about dry chicken even when it's not) so I may try to attempt with chicken thighs even though it will be a lot harder to get into a nice wrap, or I might do chicken breasts but just cook on a slightly lower heat setting. Most of all, I wanted to comment on that wonderful smile on your face whenever you see your son eating your food and he doesn't even bother to comment on it yet because he's too busy eating it. You guys have a great relationship, and I think it's a lot to envy that your son is so good about loving your cooking (coming from a family of very picky eaters, cooking for a group has always been very challenging for me). Keep up the good work!

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks for the kind words.

[@phyllisgoodrich590]

Awesome recipe!!

[@Wdstroud]

Made this for dinner tonight. It's was fun to make and was delicious. Thanks! You rock. I give it nine James.

[@SipandFeast]

Great to hear!

[@leesajohnson6252]

This looks really delicious! Funny, because I've been recently thinking about a similar recipe my mom used to make back in the 80's called "Rollo de Pollo" -- the filling involved a jar of Kraft cheese spread and chopped green chilies, and instead of bread crumbs, it called for crushed Cheese Its mixed with taco seasonings, lol.

[@curtispartain7352]

Yes amazing dish I will surely do soon!

[@annscarpa1058]

That looks delicious. I will definitely try it.

[@davidbeccadad9278]

I’ve been cooking for many years and like a lot of experienced cooks, I mainly use recipes for inspiration and basic guides for creating a dish. I ran across this “inspiration” as I was planning a family dinner prior to my moms funeral last month. I almost doubled the recipe but otherwise followed your instructions, maybe a little more butter, some parm. To make a long story short it was fantastic. In the words of my picky, judgmental sister...”best thing you ever cooked!” I appreciate having this recipe at a tough time and watching you put it together gave me just what I needed to feed the gang. Keep up the great videos and give James a raise!

[@SipandFeast]

I really appreciate the comment and so sorry for your loss.

[@tompower7313]

Great content as always mate!

[@auntfuddyduddy5843]

Jim, I thoroughly enjoy your videos and receipes. Made the Chicken Involtini and my wife's comment: "This dish is Restaurant quality". Thanks again.

[@Musicfan-dz6yz]

Made this for my boyfriend who is the cook in the relationship and can give constructive criticism when I cook and he really enjoyed it very much thanks for recipe!

[@SipandFeast]

Glad it was a hit.

[@barbaraliston5959]

Thank you for simplifying a fancy-looking recipe. I'll be veganizing this beautiful dish by using your method and filling and subbing sliced eggplant for chicken and making the filling dairy, salt and oil-free. I'll brown them under the broiler then put in an oil-free garlic-wine-broth-fresh tomato sauce. I've done this before as an eggplant/tofu ricotta/marinara sauce so I think these rollatinis will be great over pasta and look very pretty. 💕

[@TheUnkus]

I have to say, I've been subbed for a while now. Your relationship with your son reminds me of my relationship with mine. Keep up the great work!! Also, you give me great ideas. Thanks.

[@chronos13]

Wow … that looks tremendous … I have never made this dish but now I am inspired to give it a try … thank you

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks. I hope you like it.

[@voodoochild1954]

Well you did it again Jim. Excellent recipe. I didn’t have Spinach or Mushrooms on hand so I used Kale and jalapeños but with the Fontina cheese this was delicious!

[@SipandFeast]

Great to hear!

[@spudsmccatfish]

I came up with a dish similar to this several years ago. I coated the inside with basil pesto then St. Louis style provel cheese, spinach around a mushroom duxelles center. I rolled it in plastic wrap and tied the ends like a sausage and poached it then cooled it then breaded it. I do not remember what sauce I did but it was very popular 👍

[@rodschelin3470]

This dish looks really good. I will print your recipe and make it sometime soon. Thanks. (I like how you have your son taste test at the end of your vids. A nice homey, family moment.) I only recently discovered your channel, and intend to visit regularly. I presume I have a lot of catching up to do.

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

Looks really delicious 😋🥰‼️

[@flora4908]

You make this look simple… or at least achievable. Always looks DELICIOUS

[@meredithharman1146]

You're so fun to watch! I am totally going to try lots of these on my 15 year old daughter.

[@MJTRaftery]

Just saved this in my favorites - can't wait to try it! Thanks Jim for another great recipe! Any chance you can do some low sodium recipes?

[@SipandFeast]

I would just lower the sodium to your liking. All of my recipes (that are on my website) have the sodium and all other nutrition info. I am 100% honest about the amounts I use. Hope you enjoy it!

[@jmilla8998]

Nice! Wrapped chicken topped wit thin layer of mayo& bread crumbs is surprisingly good as well✌️

[@patriciamcintosh8799]

Don't ever stop making these videos 💞🇨🇦

[@fieryheadedgirl]

Juuuuuust discovered you. Fantastic! And your accent! Will try cooking this this week. Greetings from a Brit in LA. :)

[@adrianacasarez7556]

I hadn’t seen this video until today because once I start to watch others that you’ve presented, I lose track! Lol! This dish looks awesome too. I will be adding it to my list and can’t wait to try the stuffing mixture in the chicken. I love Fontina cheese. Your son keeps getting better as the taste tester; perhaps he will follow in your footsteps and decide culinary is for him one day. Great video and just the right presentation of this dish.

[@christineb8148]

Different filling, but to James's suggestion, I did a "turchetta" turkey breast for Thanksgiving, Butterflied a boneless turkey breast, stuffed it with porchetta seasoning/stuffing, and roasted it. It sliced into the prettiest, least dry, super flavorful turkey I have ever had. But the concept would also be fab with other fillings!

[@SipandFeast]

That sounds great. A good video idea too!

[@jerryoshea3116]

That soundz appetizing &appealing and it's nice to try a different method to a traditional Meal! Myself I like&enjoy Turkey,but for the most part it often comes out a little Dry!(I was fortunate growing up,my Irish ☘️ mom,did cook meat well&certainly knew how Roast a Turkey) .But having just discovered this channel,I'm really enjoying the food&his sensible,practical,non pretentious, accessible approach!..Take care&stay well☘️✌️

[@487parsons]

Love the chanel and love the dishes... What I love most is you always have "a little wine" just floating about XD Keep it up!!

[@SipandFeast]

Always need a little bit lol.

[@danlewis1871]

This looks delicious I’m going to make this. I say that about all of your recipes!

[@danlewis1871]

I actually made this today and it's a Grand Slam! So what's the 4 letter word that starts with 'F'? Im going nuts! !

[@JoeG322]

looks great, I love stuffing chicken. I will roast a nice thick piece of tomato, provolone and parm over the top, when you go to finish it in the oven.

[@SipandFeast]

Sounds great with those additions.

[@rtward9]

looks fantastic!

[@glennzanotti3346]

I want to try this, but with thighs, not breasts. I'm also thinking I could cook these indirectly on the charcoal grill (Weber Kettle) to get a little smokey flavor. The sauce would not have the fond in it, but I think the smoke would be a fair tradeoff. I love versatile recipes. Thanks!

[@elenistamatakis9246]

Hi,my dear one more excellent recipe 😋 👌 I have told before over and over(I feel like a broken record) lolol I like how you explaining how you do it step by step and Also what you use Like fontana cheese Most say cheese All cheese is not the same right?? That's why I love your videos a lot. Thank you

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the step-by-step approach I practice.

[@madi2773]

So good yummy When I roll the chicken I wrap them in clear paper and put then in the fridge for 15 minutes. No toothpick needed.

[@martyrose]

Love fontina! Tell you what I'd do with that stuffing. I would use it as a bed for pan fried scallops since I'm not a fan of chicken. Yum. Thanks Jim & James! 👍

[@SipandFeast]

That sounds great, Marty!

[@PeterCombs]

I have a nearly identical recipe we use for PORK, works equally well. Only difference is we ad a a bit of Minced Tomatoes (in season) or peeled tomatoes well drained.

[@profdg7945]

Thanks for my next recipe to conquer! Looking forward to this!

[@SipandFeast]

Hope you like it!
