- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- In a bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, Italian herbs, and black pepper.
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create thin pieces. Lightly pound them to an even thickness.
- Season both sides with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
- Place about 1 tbsp of the cheese mixture in the center of each chicken piece. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
- Set up three bowls: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and paprika in the third.
- Coat each chicken medallion in flour, dip into egg, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then carefully remove the toothpicks.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is pounded evenly for consistent cooking.
- Feel free to add more herbs to the cheese filling for extra flavor.
- Serve with a side salad or vegetables for a complete meal.
