Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 cup breadcbs (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
  3. Pound each chicken breast to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Spread a portion of the cheese mixture over each chicken breast, leaving a small border. Roll each breast tightly.
  5. Place the rolled chicken seam-side down in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and top with breadcbs.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  2. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve.

Notes

For ingredient substitutions, try different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack. Make sure to check the internal temperature to avoid overcooking. Stick to a modest amount of filling to ensure the roll-ups stay together.
