Parmesan chicken roll ups are so easy to make, incredibly tasty, and economical. They are fast to prepare as they can be made, from beginning to end, in about 30 minutes or so. I always make them for social gatherings or any party I host and my guests rant and rave about them. They are also fantastic for a midweek meal. Most of the ingredients you will have in your pantry or fridge. Believe me, your family and friends will love them.
Boneless skinless chicken breasts are used in this recipe. The breasts are easy to obtain and work with, not to mention healthy. I season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic only. Other spices can be used as well. For example, some thyme or rosemary would no go amiss.
I always use the Pillsbury crescent rolls. They are sold in just about any grocery store and are delicious coated with some butter. Mozzarella and parmesan cheese are used in the roll ups. I find that the cheeses blend so nicely together to make the roll ups so tasty.
