Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Marinara sauce, for serving
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until thin and even.
- Stuff each chicken breast with shredded mozzarella cheese and roll tightly, securing with toothpicks.
- Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs mixed with garlic powder and Italian seasoning, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dredge each stuffed chicken roll in flour, dip in the egg wash, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F/74°C).
- For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Serve with warm marinara sauce drizzled over the top and garnish with fresh basil.
Notes
- You can prepare the chicken rolls ahead of time and refrigerate them before baking.
- For freezing, wrap the prepared rolls tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as provolone or cheddar.
- To avoid cheese oozing, ensure the rolls are tightly secured with toothpicks and avoid overstuffing.
