Ingredients
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with oregano, garlic powder, basil, seasoned salt, salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
- Set up a breading station with beaten eggs, seasoned bread crumbs, and flour.
- Dip each chicken breast first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with seasoned bread crumbs.
- Cook the breaded chicken roll-ups in a skillet or oven until fully cooked and golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasonings overnight. If you're short on time, you can substitute the seasoned bread crumbs with crushed crackers or panko for a crunchier texture. For a healthier option, try using skinless chicken thighs, which stay juicy and tender when cooked. Adjust the spices to your preference, and consider adding a sprinkle of parmesan to the bread crumbs for added depth.

For a heartier option, consider pairing it with mashed potatoes or a warm grain salad. This dish also pairs beautifully with Glazed Apricot Chicken for a varied dinner spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use boneless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?
Yes, boneless chicken thighs are a great substitute! They provide more moisture and flavor, making the roll-ups even juicier. Just adjust the cooking time slightly, as thighs may take a bit longer to cook through compared to breasts.
How can I make these roll-ups gluten-free?
To make gluten-free chicken roll-ups, substitute the seasoned bread crumbs with a gluten-free alternative, such as crushed gluten-free crackers or almond flour. Ensure that any sauces or additional ingredients used are also gluten-free to maintain the dish's integrity.
What dipping sauces go well with chicken roll-ups?
Chicken roll-ups pair well with a variety of dipping sauces. Consider serving them with a zesty marinara, tangy barbecue sauce, or a creamy ranch dressing. For an Asian twist, a sweet and sour sauce would also complement the flavors beautifully.
