Instructions

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

2

Prepare the chicken

Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet.

Pro tip: Place the chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap for easier pounding.

3

Mix the filling

In a bowl, combine mozzarella, parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Pro tip: Use freshly grated cheese for the best flavour.

4

Assemble rollups

Place a portion of the cheese mixture on each chicken breast, then roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.

Pro tip: Use two toothpicks per rollup for extra security.

5

Coat the rollups

Dip each rollup in melted butter, then coat with breadcrumbs.

Pro tip: Use your hands to press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken for better adherence.

6

Bake

Place rollups on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Pro tip: Check that the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

7

Rest and serve

Let the rollups rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Pro tip: Resting helps the juices redistribute within the chicken.
