Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, carefully butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally, but not all the way through, so you can open it like a book.
Place each butterflied chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until about 1/4 inch thick.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
Lay the chicken breasts on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto one end of each breast. Roll the chicken tightly around the filling and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Brush each rollup with olive oil and season them with the remaining salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Lightly coat the rollups with breadcrumbs by sprinkling and pressing them onto the surface.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the chicken rollups for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Carefully remove any toothpicks.
Serve with a side of vegetables or a light salad. Enjoy!
