Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried parsley or Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven and Chicken
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a thin, even piece, then season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
2. Make the Creamy Filling
In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
Mix until smooth and spreadable.
3. Fill and Roll
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
Roll the chicken tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Brush the tops lightly with olive oil for a golden finish.
4. Bake Until Perfect
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned.
For extra color, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
5. Rest and Serve
Let the rolls rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
