Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup button mushrooms, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 4 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to an even 1/4-inch thickness.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and any liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms, cream cheese, grated Parmesan, and chopped parsley. Mix until well blended.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Spoon the mushroom and cream cheese filling onto the center of each chicken breast. Spread evenly, leaving a small border at the edges.
Carefully roll up each chicken breast tightly, starting from the narrower end. Secure the roll-ups with toothpicks to hold their shape.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken roll-ups for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken roll-ups from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, for a romantic dining experience.
