Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and place a rack in the middle. degrees.

Place cutlets between sheets of plastic wrap and flatten with a meat mallet to about ¼-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

Starting with a narrow end, roll up chicken and tie in several places with kitchen twine or skewer with toothpicks. Season with remaining salt and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a 10-inch, oven-proof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Put chicken into skillet, seam-side up, and brown lightly. Turn chicken, add white wine and let it evaporate.
