A delightful twist on a classic baked chicken dish, featuring a cheesy and spicy filling wrapped in tender chicken.
Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Place the chicken between two sheets of wax paper to prevent mess while flattening.
Cut the green chilies into strips and the cheddar cheese into small slices.
Use fresh chilies for a more vibrant flavor.
Place a strip of chili and a slice of cheese on each chicken breast, then roll tightly.
Secure the rolls with toothpicks if needed to keep them intact.
Combine parmesan cheese, chili powder, cumin, lemon pepper seasoning, and breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl.
Mix the coating ingredients thoroughly for an even flavor distribution.
Dip each chicken roll in melted butter, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Ensure the rolls are fully coated for a crispy texture.
Place the rolls seam-side down in a baking dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Chilling helps the coating adhere better during baking.
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F for 25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve the rolls hot with your favorite side dishes.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
