Instructions

1- Prepare the Chicken:

2- Season and Mix:

• Season both sides of the chicken with salt and black pepper.

3- Assemble the Rolls:

• Brush the seasoned chicken with the mayonnaise-mustard mixture.
• Spoon the cheese-herb-garlic mixture onto the mayo-coated side of each chicken breast.
• Carefully roll each chicken breast to enclose the filling.

• Cover with a glass lid and cook on low heat for 35 minutes.

5- Final Touches:
