Ingredients:
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 mozzarella cheese slice per chicken breast
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Flatten Chicken: Pound each chicken breast until it reaches a uniform thickness of approximately 1/3 inch. |
| 2 | Add Cheese: Place a slice of mozzarella cheese onto each flattened chicken breast, then tightly roll up each piece. Secure the rolls with toothpicks to keep them intact during cooking. |
| 3 | Prepare Coating: In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. |
| 4 | Coat Chicken: Roll each chicken roll-up in flour, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Then, dip it in the beaten eggs, followed by a thorough coating in breadcrumbs. |
| 5 | Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the prepared chicken roll-ups seam side down in an ungreased 2-1/2 quart baking dish. |
| 6 | Infuse with Flavor: In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the dried oregano. Drizzle this flavorful mixture over the chicken roll-ups in the baking dish. |
| 7 | Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chicken roll-ups, uncovered, for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. |
| 8 | Serve: Once fully cooked, remove the toothpicks from the chicken roll-ups before serving to avoid any accidental bites. Enjoy the flavorful goodness! |
