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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Place each butterflied chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Brush each rollup with olive oil and season them with the remaining salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 7

Lightly coat the rollups with breadcrumbs by sprinkling and pressing them onto the surface.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Carefully remove any toothpicks.

Step 11

Serve with a side of vegetables or a light salad. Enjoy!
