Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Stuffed Chicken Valentina.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing a baking dish to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
Next, take each chicken breast and slice it in half lengthwise, but keep one side attached to form a lovely butterfly shape.
Step 3
To make the chicken nice and flat, place it between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound it out.
Step 4
Repeat this for all your chicken breasts, and you’ll have a perfect canvas for flavor.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine Italian seasoning, grated Parmesan cheese, and freshly chopped chives.
Step 6
This aromatic blend will add a burst of flavor to your chicken.
Step 7
Sprinkle this mixture generously over the flattened chicken breasts, making sure every inch is covered.
Step 8
Now, at one end of each breast, lay down three strips of roasted red bell pepper and sprinkle on a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 9
Roll the chicken up tightly, starting from the side with the peppers and cheese, and secure each roll with a toothpick to keep everything snug and in place.
Step 10
Place your beautifully rolled chicken in the greased baking dish.
Step 11
Season them with a pinch of salt and pepper, then drizzle a little olive oil on top to enhance the flavors as they cook.
Step 12
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 15 minutes.
Step 13
After that, switch your oven to broil and let the chicken cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 14
This will give you that perfect golden, bubbly cheese on top while ensuring the chicken is cooked through.
Step 15
Once it’s done, carefully remove the dish from the oven.
Step 16
Slice the rolls to reveal the vibrant filling inside, and get ready to serve this delightful dish that’s sure to impress.
Step 17
Enjoy every bite of your flavorful chicken rolls!.
