Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Thinly slice chicken breasts into 6 slices; or use thin-sliced chicken breast.
Cover the chicken breasts with plastic wrap and pound them thin them using a meat tenderizer or rolling pin.
Add 1 tablespoon of the garlic and herb spread to each chicken piece, and spread it to cover the chicken.
Add equal amounts of mozzarella to each chicken piece.
Roll each chicken piece tightly, securing with a toothpick. Close the ends up and secure with a toothpick to help prevent the cheese from oozing out.
Prepare a dredging station: pour the egg whites into a bowl, and the breadcrumbs into a dish.
Dip each rollup into the egg white whites, followed by the breadcrumbs. Toss to coat the chicken rollups in the breadcrumbs.
Spray the baking dish or sheet pan with olive oil spray, and arrange the chicken in the dish. Spray the tops with more olive oil spray.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165F.
Broil for 2-3 minutes to make the tops golden brown. Garnish with fresh parsley.
