Ingredients
Scale
Spices and Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Chicken and Cheese
- 1 pound thinly sliced chicken breasts
- 5.3 ounces garlic & fine herbs Boursin cheese (1 package)
- ½ cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the thinly sliced chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure better seasoning adhesion and easier rolling.
- Season the chicken: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken slices.
- Spread the cheese: Lay the seasoned chicken slices flat and spread a generous layer of garlic & fine herbs Boursin cheese over each slice.
- Add mozzarella: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the Boursin cheese layer to add a gooey texture once cooked.
- Roll the chicken: Carefully roll up each chicken slice tightly to encase the cheeses inside, securing the filling.
- Cook the roll ups: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil or butter. Place the chicken roll ups seam side down in the skillet to prevent unrolling. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and cheese inside has melted. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute and cheese to set slightly.
Notes
- Ensure chicken slices are thin for easier rolling and even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to verify chicken is fully cooked for food safety.
- Optionally, secure the rolls with toothpicks if needed to keep cheese from escaping.
- This recipe can be paired with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Substitute mozzarella with another melting cheese if preferred.
