Ingredients
  • 8 chicken breasts halves (skinless and boneless, about 2 lbs)
  • ½ cup dry bread crumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 1 Tbsp chopped parsley
  • 4 oz mozzarella or jack cheese cut in 8 strips (1/2 in by 1½ in)
  • 2 eggs beaten with 2 Tbsp water
Instructions
  1. Flatten chicken breasts by placing them, one at a time, between 2 plastic sheets and pounding them with a flat mallet or underside of a small frying pan. About ¼ inch thick. Set aside;
  2. In a pie dish, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt, pepper and 1 tsp oregano;
  3. In a small bowl, make a paste with butter, parsley and ¼ tsp oregano;
  4. On the lower edge of each breast, put ½ Tbsp of herb butter and one strip of cheese;
  5. Fold lower edge over filling, then fold sides and roll up to enclose filling (like a fajita);
  6. Roll each bundle in egg mixture, drain excess and roll in bread crumb and coat evenly;
  7. Place bundles, seam side down, without touching in a baking pan;
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight;
  9. Bake uncovered at a 425 degree until chicken is golden on the outside and chicken meat is no longer pink. Cut to test (about 30 minutes).
