Ingredients

For the Chicken Roll

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8–10 slices bacon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Stuffing

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon softened cream cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them until evenly thin.
3. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.
4. In a bowl, combine mozzarella, onion, garlic, parsley, dill, oregano, and cream cheese until evenly mixed.
5. Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the flattened chicken, leaving a small border around the edges.
6. Carefully roll the chicken tightly from one end to the other, keeping the filling inside.
7. Lay the bacon slices slightly overlapping on a clean surface. Place the chicken roll over the bacon and wrap the bacon tightly around the entire roll.
8. Place the wrapped chicken seam-side down on the prepared baking tray.
9. Bake for approximately 35–45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
10. For a more deeply browned and crispy bacon exterior, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end while watching carefully.
11. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 8–10 minutes before slicing.
12. Slice into thick rounds and serve warm, allowing the stuffed center and crispy bacon exterior to remain clearly visible.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the sliced chicken roll with roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, green beans, or a fresh garden salad. A creamy garlic sauce or light herb sauce also pairs beautifully with the rich bacon-wrapped chicken.

Pro Tips

• Pound the chicken evenly so the roll cooks consistently.
• Do not overfill the chicken, as the filling can escape during rolling.
• Overlap the bacon slightly to keep the stuffing enclosed.
• Rest the chicken before slicing to help retain its juices.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the center reaches 165°F (74°C).
• Broiling briefly at the end gives the bacon a crisp, glossy finish.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover chicken rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat, place slices in a covered oven-safe dish and warm at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. For crispier bacon, uncover during the final few minutes of reheating.

The cooked chicken can also be frozen in airtight packaging for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
