Instructions

Prep. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Mix filling. In a small bowl, combine the green onions, Italian seasoning, parsley, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Flatten chicken. Trim the chicken breasts as needed. Place each breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness without tearing.
Fill and roll. Remove plastic wrap. Place 2 slices of Swiss cheese over each chicken breast, keeping cheese within the edges. Spoon the green onion mixture over the cheese. Roll the chicken tightly from the wider end to the narrow end and secure with toothpicks.
Set up breading station. Place the flour on one plate. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. On another plate, combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Bread chicken. Roll each chicken roll up in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, then coat evenly in the breadcrumb mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve. Remove toothpicks and serve warm.

Notes

Make ahead. Assemble the chicken roll ups, place in an airtight container or disposable pan, and freeze. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking.
Reheating. Reheat on a baking sheet at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or until heated through and reaching 160°F.
Breading tip. Press the breadcrumb mixture gently onto the chicken to help it adhere during baking.
