Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 8 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and pat dry the chicken breasts. Use a sharp knife to slice each breast horizontally, creating thin fillets about 1/2 inch thick. If necessary, pound the fillets gently with a meat mallet to make them even in thickness.
Wash and dice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced bell peppers. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, stirring regularly, until the peppers are slightly softened. Set aside to cool.
Sprinkle each chicken fillet evenly with paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of the sautéed bell pepper mixture onto one end of each chicken fillet. Sprinkle a small amount of Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
Carefully roll up each chicken fillet, starting from the end with the filling. Secure the roll with 1–2 toothpicks to prevent it from unraveling during cooking.
Place the chicken rolls seam-side down in a baking dish. Brush them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a little extra paprika for color, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the toothpicks before serving and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs, if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as salad, rice, or roasted vegetables.
