I've been making these swiss cheese and green onion stuffed chicken roll ups for years and they're always a big hit. They're easy to prepare and fun to slice into. Serve them up for any occasion.
This chicken roll ups recipe is super easy to follow along with and takes very little time at all to prep. The best part is that you get to tenderize the chicken breast by pounding it flat, so it's not only a meal, but a great way to work out some frustration too.
These cheesy chicken roll ups are a perfect blend of spice, savory, crunchy, and juicy chicken in every bite. You're going to love how wonderfully they can pair with any side dish and how fast they disappear.

🔪 Instructions
Check out how to Make Stuffed Chicken Roll Ups with these simple step-by-step instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small bowl combine the green onions, Italian seasoning, parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Trim your breasts as needed and then lay them between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a meat tenderizer to hit them several times to flatten them as much as you can without hurting the integrity of the chicken. You don't want it to fall apart.
- Remove the plastic wrap and place 2 slices of swiss cheese on top of each breast, trying to create a nice layer that covers the top of the meat. Some of the cheese can overlap but you don't want it hanging off of the edges too much.
- Divide your green onion mix between the four breasts and place it in the center of the cheese.
- Roll up your chicken breasts from the large side to the small side and secure with toothpicks.
- On one plate pour the flour. On another plate mix the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. In a pie plate or bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Set them up in front of you like an assembly line.
- Roll the secured breasts in flour, dip in the egg, and then dip in the cheesy bread crumbs before placing on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
🧾 Substitutions
Italian Breadcrumbs. If you do not have Italian breadcrumbs on hand you can use plain breadcrumbs that have been mixed with 1 tablespoon of dry Italian seasoning and ¼ teaspoon of salt. This is a simple and easy DIY version.
Parsley. If you do not have dried parsley on hand fresh can be substituted but you'll need more of it (just shy of ¼ cup, chopped). The flavors of these chicken breast roll ups will change as a result but they will still taste really good.
🍴 Recipe Tips
Make ahead freezer meal option
This stuffed chicken roll up recipe can be made in advance and frozen for future dinner meals in an airtight storage container. I like disposable pans with lids, then I place them into a large Ziploc bag.
When ready to cook, you can thaw your container of rolled chicken in the fridge overnight or for a few hours on the counter before baking.
Reheating instructions
Reheat your chicken by placing it on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes or until heated through and reaching 160 degrees F.
Side Dishes
This recipe goes great with just about anything. I usually opt for simple pasta sides or some mashed potatoes along with roasted or steamed veggies.
