Easy Keto Chicken Roll-Ups
These stuffed chicken roll-ups are filled with a blend of cheese and fresh basil, then baked to perfection. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, chopped basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Stuff the Chicken: Spread the cheese mixture evenly over each chicken breast. Roll up each breast tightly and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- Cook the Roll-Ups: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken roll-ups and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Remove the toothpicks and slice the roll-ups. Serve hot, garnished with additional basil if desired.
