Chicken Breast Rollups
If you are using frozen chicken breasts, you should completely thaw them in the refrigerator ahead of time—this makes it easier to butterfly the chicken breasts. I would also suggest removing any excess fat from the chicken breasts—you would want the chicken breasts as lean as possible.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven at 350 degrees F.
2. Marinade chicken breast in salt, and lemon juice for 10-15 minutes. Remove from marinade and pad dry. Set aside.
3. Mix parsley, extra virgin oil, onion, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and pepper.
4. Butterfly chicken breast.
5. Spoon and spread the parsley mixture over the chicken breast to about ½” from the edge.
6. Roll the chicken breast and pin with a toothpick.
7. Meanwhile, heat 3 tbs of the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully, brown the rolled chicken breast, turning it until golden brown. Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until done.
8. Remove chicken rolls-up from oven and let it cool at least 5 minutes before slicing it.
9. Remove toothpicks from chicken breast before cutting.
10. Slice the chicken roll-ups into thin-medium slices and place on a serving platter.
11. Garnish with parsley for presentation if desired

Cut the piece of chicken horizontally parallel to the cutting board or surface as follows: Starting from the thickest part of the chicken breast, carefully slice the chicken breast almost completely in half, stopping at a 1/4" from the other side. Open the chicken breast like opening a book. And that's it! You've just turned a piece of chicken into a "butterfly".
Serves 6-8
