Description

For this chicken nepiev recipe, chicken, cream cheese, and garlic unite in this marriage of Chicken Neptune, Chicken Kiev, and a shorthanded pantry.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
4 tablespoons garlic flavored cream cheese spread
1/4 cup garlic and herb seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

1 Combine Italian seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl; sprinkle over both sides of each chicken breast. Place 1 tablespoon cream cheese in center of each breast; spread slightly. Tuck in sides; roll up tightly. Secure with toothpicks.
2 Place bread crumbs on a plate; roll chicken rolls in bread crumbs to coat. Transfer to a plate, cover, and freeze for about 30 minutes.
3 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4 Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken rolls on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer rolls to a baking dish.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. Spoon drippings over rolls before serving.
