Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Boneless skinless chicken breasts 4
Butter 1/4 cup
Parsley 1 tablespoon
Oregano 1 teaspoon
Mozzarella cheese 3/4 cup

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Begin by discarding any excess fat and connecting tissue from the chicken breasts.
    • Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken breasts until they reach a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Herb Butter:

    • In a small bowl, combine the parsley, oregano, and a dash of Mrs. Dash seasoning (if available).
    • In another bowl, whip the butter until smooth, then add the herb mixture and mix until well combined.
  3. Stuff the Chicken:

    • Lay the pounded chicken breasts flat on a clean surface.
    • Spread half of the herb butter mixture evenly over the surface of the chicken breasts.
    • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the buttered chicken breasts.
    • Carefully roll up each chicken breast, ensuring the cheese and butter stay tucked inside.
  4. Cook the Chicken:

    • In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil.
    • Place the rolled chicken breasts seam-side down in the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes per side.
  5. Bake in the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
    • Transfer the browned chicken rolls to a baking dish.
    • Melt the remaining herb butter and pour it over the chicken rolls.
    • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
    • Occasionally baste the chicken rolls with the melted butter while baking to keep them moist and flavorful.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once the chicken rolls are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven.
    • Serve hot, drizzling any pan drippings over the chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
    • Pair with your favorite side dishes and enjoy this delectable stuffed chicken breast creation!
