Garlic Butter & Cheese Stuffed Chicken Roll-Ups
Ingredients
- 1 kg boneless whole chicken breasts you need the whole pieces, not cut up
- 1 medium sized onion finely chopped
- 10 fat cloves of garlic peeled and minced
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter plus extra to grease and brush
- Italian seasoning dried mixed herbs
- grated cheddar or parmesan cheese as required
- mozzarella cheese as required
- 2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
- garlic salt optional
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the chicken breasts and pat dry. Carefully slice them into half, horizontally so you get thinner ‘sheets’ of each breast piece.
- Marinate all the pieces lightly with salt and place them on a large baking sheet that has been lightly greased with olive oil or butter.
- Heat some oil in a wok/kadai and fry the chopped onions till translucent, add the minced garlic and fry on a reduced heat for a few seconds. Don’t let the garlic burn or it will taste bitter. Remove the mixture onto a plate and let it cool.
- Spread the butter on each piece of the sliced chicken breast and add the prepared filling across the length of the chicken. Then add the Italian seasoning and/or garlic salt (if you are using garlic salt make sure you don’t add too much as the chicken is already marinated with salt in step#2)
- Sprinkle the grated cheeses and chopped coriander.
- Roll up the chicken from the broadest side first and secure the ends using toothpicks. Drizzle with olive oil or brush with extra butter.
- Preheat oven to 220 C and cook the chicken on ‘bake’ mode for 12 minutes. Then change the oven setting to ‘grill’ mode for another 8-9 minutes or till it looks golden on the surface.
- Remove from oven and carefully remove the toothpicks. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or any side of your choice.

Hi Shireen,
Just last week I was about to ask you if you have any recipes using boneless chicken breasts, since I didn't see any on your blog. But then I decided to try my own and came up with something similar, except instead of rolling the chicken I baked it steak style with pockets stuffed with mushroom & cheese filling and garlic butter sauce drizzled over. My kids absolutely loved it. Will definitely give your recipe a go the next time. Regarding your recipe, you have mentioned to cut the chicken horizontally, but I think you need to mention the cut has to be through the whole breast in order to get thinner slices.
@ Shafe: Thanks for the suggestion! I'll update my recipe with those instructions! Your idea for stuffed chicken sounds divine! I hope to try that out soon!
This looks so restaurant style with mashed potatoes! Yes, at times we do need a break from our normal cooking just to break the monotony and this is an amazing idea…
