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

Main Ingredients

1 pound thinly sliced chicken breasts
5.3 ounces garlic & fine herbs Boursin cheese (1 package)
½ cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken roll ups.
Season the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the thinly sliced chicken breasts to enhance their flavor.
Assemble the roll ups: Lay each chicken breast slice flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of garlic & fine herbs Boursin cheese over each slice, then sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Carefully roll up each slice tightly to encase the cheese inside.
Secure and place in baking dish: If desired, use toothpicks to secure the roll ups so they don’t open during baking. Place the rolled chicken pieces seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
Bake the chicken roll ups: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. The cheese inside should be melted and bubbly.
Serve and enjoy: Remove the toothpicks carefully, plate the chicken roll ups, and serve hot. They pair well with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.

Notes

You can substitute the Boursin cheese with herbed cream cheese if needed, although flavor will vary slightly.
Ensure the chicken slices are thin enough to roll easily; if not, consider pounding them thinner before seasoning.
To add extra crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes while watching carefully to avoid burning.
These roll ups can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking, making them convenient for meal prep.
Use toothpicks to secure the chicken rolls to prevent unrolling during baking.
