Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs, beaten
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Marinara sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Place a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to gently pound it to 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat for all chicken breasts.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 4

Spread 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto one side of each flattened chicken breast.

Step 5

Carefully roll each chicken breast tightly, starting from the narrow end, and secure the seam with a toothpick if needed.

Step 6

Prepare a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

Step 7

Dip each chicken rollup first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumbs, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 8

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken rollups and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove toothpicks, if used, before serving. Serve the chicken rollups plain or with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
