How Do You Make Stuffed Chicken Breast:
Place boneless, skinless chicken breast between two sheets of plastic film and using a meat mallet, gently pound until flattened to a uniform thickness.
Spoon choice of filling on one end of the chicken breast fillet and roll it around the filling into a tight log. Secure with toothpicks, if necessary.
Dredge stuffed chicken in breadcrumbs until thoroughly coated. Place in a single layer, seam side down, on a lightly-greased baking sheet. Drizzle with melted butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray to help the breading brown.
Bake in a 425 F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on the outside and thermometer inserted in the center reads 165 F. Remove from oven and allow to stand for about 1 to 2 minutes before slicing.
