Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, use a meat mallet to pound them to a uniform thickness before cooking.
  • For a crispy crust, make sure the chicken breasts are completely dry before dredging them in the flour mixture.
  • To prevent the cheese from leaking out during cooking, place a toothpick or skewer through the center of each chicken breast before rolling it up.
  • Bake the chicken breasts on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow the air to circulate and help them cook evenly.
  • Serve the chicken breasts immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
