Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice them horizontally to create thinner fillets. Pound them gently with a meat mallet to ensure even thickness.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Place a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture onto one end of each chicken breast fillet. Roll the chicken tightly around the filling and secure the ends with toothpicks to prevent unrolling.
Set up a breading station with three shallow plates: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Lightly season the flour and breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Carefully coat each chicken rollup in flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumbs. Ensure the rollups are fully covered.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sear the chicken rollups on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. This will seal in the juices and help the breadcrumbs stay crispy.
Transfer the seared rollups to the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the toothpicks from the rollups and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
