- Toothpicks for securing the roll ups
- Fresh parsley for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 210°C (410°F) and lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe pan.
- Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise into thinner cutlets. Pound them gently until evenly thin for easier rolling and even cooking.

- Lay one slice of bacon flat on a cutting board. Place a piece of chicken on top, then add mozzarella slices near one end.
- Carefully roll everything together into a tight spiral. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Place the chicken roll ups seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked, the bacon is crispy around the edges, and the cheese is melted.
- For a more golden and crispy top, broil for 1–2 minutes before serving.
- Let the roll ups rest for a few minutes and serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
