Make-ahead Tasty Chicken Rolls
List of Ingredients
4 boneless Chicken Breasts
Your favorite zesty Crackers
1 1/2 tsp. Oregano Leaves (divided)
1/2 tsp. Garlic Salt
1/4 tsp. Pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
6 Tbsp. (3/4 stick) Butter or Margarine (divided)
1 Tbsp. chopped Parsley
4 oz. shredded Jack Cheese
Recipe
Makes eight boneless rolls
Pound chicken breasts on a cutting board between
pieces of plastic (emptied bread sacks work just fine)
until they're about 1/4-inch thick. Refrigerate while
you prepare the other ingredients.
In a food processor, whirl enough of your favorite
crackers to make 1/2 cup. Add the garlic salt, pepper,
Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon of the oregano; whirl again
to mix thoroughly.
Soften 1/4 stick butter and mix in the jack cheese,
parsley, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano.
Drop equal amounts of the butter-cheese mixture on the
flattened chicken breasts, and roll the breasts around the
mixture, tucking in the sides as you go to seal in the filling.
Melt the other half stick butter and dip the cheese-filled
chicken bundles first in the melted butter, then in the
crumb mixture you prepared earlier.
Place bundles a little apart in a baking dish; you may
drizzle any remaining melted butter over them if you
choose. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
Bake, uncovered, in a 400-F degree oven for 20 minutes.
