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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms, cream cheese, grated Parmesan, and chopped parsley. Mix until well blended.

Step 5

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 6

Spoon the mushroom and cream cheese filling onto the center of each chicken breast. Spread evenly, leaving a small border at the edges.

Step 7

Carefully roll up each chicken breast tightly, starting from the narrower end. Secure the roll-ups with toothpicks to hold their shape.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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).

Step 10

Remove the chicken roll-ups from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, for a romantic dining experience.
