Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Provolone cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them gently until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, provolone, cream cheese, parsley, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto each chicken breast and spread it evenly, leaving a small border around the edges.
Carefully roll each chicken breast tightly and secure the seam with toothpicks. Arrange the chicken rollups seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Brush the tops of the chicken rollups with olive oil. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and pour the marinara sauce over the chicken rollups. Return the dish to the oven and bake, uncovered, for another 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
Serve the Five Cheese Chicken Rollups hot with a side of pasta, vegetables, or salad. Enjoy!
