Cheesy Chicken Roll-Ups – A Family Favorite Comfort Dish

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Breasts

  • If chicken breasts are thick, slice them horizontally to create thinner pieces for even baking.

  • Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Make the Filling

  • In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 4: Fill the Chicken

  • Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture on each chicken breast.

  • Roll the chicken tightly to enclose the filling.

  • Optional: Roll the chicken in breadcrumbs for a crispier texture.

Step 5: Sear the Chicken

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  • Sear chicken rolls for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 6: Bake the Chicken Roll-Ups

  • Transfer the seared chicken rolls to the prepared baking dish.

  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

  • Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

  • Serve with vegetables or over rice for a complete meal.
