How to Make Italian Cheese Chicken Roll Ups

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup (40g) shredded mozzarella cheese, 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup (30g) chopped bell peppers (any color), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt. Mix until well blended.
  3. Shape the cheese mixture into 4 equal-sized logs.
  4. Place one cheese log onto the short end of each of four (4-6 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
  5. Gently press the cheese log into the chicken.
  6. Tightly roll up each chicken breast, tucking in the ends to completely enclose the filling.
  7. Place the chicken roll-ups, seam-side down, in a 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
  8. Spoon 1 cup (240ml) of your favorite spaghetti or tomato sauce evenly over the chicken.
  9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  10. Bake for 35 minutes.
  11. Remove the foil.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup (40g) shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
  13. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
