Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the Filling:
- 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- ¼ cup ranch dressing (or 2 tbsp mayo + 2 tbsp buttermilk + ranch seasoning)
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened (optional for creaminess)
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 small bell pepper, diced (optional)
For Assembly & Cooking:
- Parchment paper (for baking)
- Toothpicks (to secure the rolls)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin fillets, about ½ inch thick, to make them easier to roll up.
- Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the seasoning evenly over the chicken fillets on both sides.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine crumbled bacon, ranch dressing (or mayo, buttermilk, and ranch seasoning), softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced bell pepper (if using). Mix well.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Spoon a generous amount of the filling onto each chicken fillet. Roll the chicken around the filling and secure with toothpicks.
- Bake the Roll-Ups: Place the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Remove from the oven, discard the toothpicks, and serve hot. Enjoy these delicious roll-ups as a dinner or party appetizer!
Notes
- You can customize the filling by adding or omitting ingredients like bell peppers, cheddar cheese, or even adding green onions.
- To make the roll-ups extra creamy, mix in some cream cheese with the ranch dressing.
