Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. Set aside.
- While the onions are caramelizing, prepare the chicken. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly over each chicken breast. Top with caramelized onions.
- Roll up each chicken breast tightly and secure with toothpicks.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken rolls on all sides until lightly browned.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks before serving.
Notes
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture for a little heat.
