1½ cups mozzarella cheese, freshly grated

Instructions

Place halved chicken breasts between parchment and pound evenly to about ¼ inch thickness.
In a bowl, combine grated mozzarella, chopped parsley, and minced garlic.
In another bowl, whisk mayonnaise with mustard until smooth.
Season both sides of the chicken with salt and black pepper.
Brush each piece with a thin layer of the mayo-mustard mixture.
Spread the mozzarella-parsley mixture evenly over the chicken, leaving a small border.
Roll each piece tightly into a log, placing seam side down and securing with toothpicks if needed.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and sear the rolls seam side down, turning until golden on all sides.
Brush the tops with more mayo-mustard mixture and sprinkle with extra mozzarella if desired.
Cover skillet, reduce heat to low, and cook for about 15 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into rounds and serving hot.

Notes

Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge before cooking.

Variations: use spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or swap mozzarella for provolone/gouda.

For a crispier version, coat in breadcrumbs before searing.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the oven at 350°F to keep the chicken juicy.

Uncooked rolls can be frozen and thawed overnight before cooking.
