How to Make Mozzarella Chicken Roll Ups

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 4 ounces neufchâtel cheese (softened), 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 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 one of the short ends of each of the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each).
  5. Press the cheese log gently 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 coated with cooking spray.
  8. Evenly spoon 1 1/2 cups of your favorite spaghetti sauce over the chicken.
  9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes.
  11. Remove the foil.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
  13. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
