   • 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 350°F (175°C).
   • 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!
