Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 375°F. Grease a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Halve the chicken breasts horizontally to get 4 chicken fillets. Lay them on a cutting board and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread one tablespoon of cream cheese evenly on each piece of chicken. Then, sprinkle minced garlic, chopped parsley, and some mozzarella cheese on top.
- Place a slice of ham on each fillet.
- Roll each chicken fillet tightly from one end and secure it with toothpicks.
- Place the roll-ups in the greased baking dish.
- Pour tomato sauce over the chicken roll ups.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, pour more tomato sauce over the roll-ups and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
- Increase oven temperature to 400° F. Return the baking pan to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
- Garnish with parsley or fresh basil.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Flattening Chicken: Use a meat mallet to flatten the chicken breasts evenly for uniform cooking. This ensures that each roll up cooks through evenly without any raw spots.
- Securing Roll-Ups: Use heat-resistant toothpicks to secure your roll-ups and prevent them from unraveling during baking. This simple step ensures that your dish maintains its shape and presentation.
- Checking Temperature: Use an instant-read thermometer to verify that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F to ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly.
