Get excited because I’ve got a super easy and tasty dinner idea for you and your fam!! This chicken roll ups recipe is a total crowd-pleaser, and I guarantee your whole family will be asking for seconds, thirds, and more—it’s that delish!
Plus, it’s perfect for when you have guests or need to bring a dish to a friend’s place. I made it for my brother’s family as part of a meal train when my sister-in-law had surgery, and it was a huge hit. Kid-friendly, easy to transport, and everyone loved it!
With that said, you should know that I make this chicken roll ups recipe in my air fryer (when I originally wrote this post, I had an air fryer similar to this one which was great but then we upgraded to this air fryer toaster oven combo which is bigger and better, with many more modes like toast, pizza mode, bagel mode, etc!) but if you don’t have one, no worries—you can bake it in the oven too. Sharing the exact recipe for both ways below!
Did I mention that this chicken roll ups recipe is completely fool-proof with just three ingredients. Yep, you read that right, three! So, go ahead and do a little happy dance. The best part? You can serve it with anything—salad, rice, potatoes, mushrooms, asparagus—sky’s the limit. Promise, you can’t go wrong.
In a nutshell, it’s a simple, tasty dish that anyone can make. Whether you’re a pro or just starting out, this recipe’s a winner. So, grab your ingredients, use your air fryer or oven, and get ready for an amazing meal that’ll be a hit with not only your taste buds but with your family, too! Enjoy!

This 3-Ingredient Pesto Provolone Chicken Roll Ups Recipe Is The Best
Ingredients
- 1 pound THIN chicken breasts – there should be 5-7 in the package
- 1/2 cup of your favorite fresh basil pesto
- 1 small thin slice of provolone cheese per chicken breast
- Salt + pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer using the “warm-up” or “preheat” setting. *For directions using an oven, see below.
- Salt + pepper both sides of your chicken
- Spread a dollop of pesto out onto one side of each thin flat chicken breast
- Starting from one end of the uncooked chicken, tightly roll it up. Repeat for each chicken + pesto combo. –> Brody did this part for me and LOVED it. I made sure to have him wash his hands before and directly after. But he was very proud of his rolls and it was a great way to get him involved!!
- Line the inside of the air fryer {but be careful not to burn yourself since you just heated it up!} with nonstick tin foil and then top with the roll-ups.
- Air fry at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes, turning once mid-way using kitchen tongs.
- Top each roll-up with your thin slice of provolone cheese. The cheese should cover the roll-up entirely.
- Continue to air fry at 360 degrees F for 4-5 minutes. Check it after 4 minutes to see if the cheese is melty and bubbly. If it’s not, continue air-frying for another minute. Let rest for a few minutes before removing from the air fryer.
