- Cook the chicken on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 4 to 5 or until chicken is tender enough to shred.

Stuffed chicken roll ups – a delicious healthy stuffed chicken breast recipe that can be customized with your favorite filling. These rolled up chicken breasts are stuffed with veggies and cheese, then rolled up, baked in the oven and finished with a creamy sauce. Follow the step by step instructions for perfectly stuffed chicken roll ups every time, or get creative with your favorite ingredients.
Ingredients
- 3 medium chicken breasts (aprox. 1.6 pounds)
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1.5 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp creamy peach vinaigrette (or your favorite sauce)
- 10-12 green beans (or asparagus or broccoli, see notes)
- 1/2 bell pepper (sliced strips (optional))
- 4-6 tbsp shredded cheese (feta, mozzarella or parmesan) (see notes for dairy free )
- 1 tbsp ghee (or)
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
Instructions Step 1. Prepare the chicken breasts
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Mix all those seasoning in a small bowl prior to cutting the chicken.
- Prepare chicken breasts by cutting them horizontally and slice through the breast almost to the end, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Place a piece of plastic wrap over top, then use a meat mallet to pound it out to be about 1/4 inch thick. It’s easier to roll up a thin chicken cutlet, so pounding makes a huge difference.
- Season the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
Step 2. Assemble chicken roll ups:
- Place the seasoned chicken flat, add 1 tablespoon of sauce, your favorite shredded cheese and veggies on each chicken slice. You can spread the stuffing all over the top or just place it on one side/middle.
- Roll them up starting from the side where the filling is the closest. Proceed with the rest of the chicken pieces.
Step 3. Sear:
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add ghee or oil. Avocado or grape seed oil have a high smoking point and mild flavored, so they are my favorite oil for searing.
- Add stuffed chicken roll-ups to the hot pan, seam side down and sear chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side, until evenly browned. You can cook chicken roll ups in batches if needed.
Steps 4. Bake the rolled-up chicken breasts:
- Once chicken is seared, place chicken rolls seam side down on a lightly greased baking dish and bake the stuffed chicken breast in oven for 20-22 minutes. Best if you use the same skillet you used for searing. Just make sure the handle is not plastic and it’s an oven safe skillet.
- At the end broil for 2-3 minutes to make the tops golden brown.

Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Chicken is a practical addition to this collection, with a straightforward method and adaptable serving options.
Recipe details: Prep: PT5M · Cook: PT25M · Total: PT30M · Yield: [‘6’]
Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Chicken is rich, creamy, comforting, and done in only 30 minutes! This one-pan chicken dinner recipe is easy enough for a weeknight, and special enough for date night at home.
Ingredients
- 2.5 – 3 pounds chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomato pesto
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Use a meat mallet to pound and tenderize your chicken breasts. Pound the chicken breast out until all pieces are about 1/2 inch thick.
- Mix the garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Season both sides of the chicken breast with the seasoning blend. You might have some seasoning blend left over.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over low to medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the chicken breast. Place the chicken breast in a single layer, without overlapping the pieces.
- Cook each side for about 8-10 minutes, cooking the chicken for a total of 16-20 minutes. Adjust your burner up or down as needed. You do not want the chicken or the oil to burn. It’s okay if crusty, brown bits form on the bottom of your pan. These will deglaze when you add the heavy cream, and they’ll add a lot of delicious flavor to the sauce! Make sure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the pan. Add the butter and minced garlic. Cook the garlic for about 30 seconds. Just until the garlic is fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and the sun dried tomato pesto. Use a wooden spoon to stir the tomato pesto sauce together. Gently scrape the bottom of the pan to pull up any brown bits. Bring the cream sauce to a gentle simmer.
- Add in the grated parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted. Turn off your burner. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet.
- Spoon some of the cream sauce over top of the chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Orange bell pepper
- 1 Green bell pepper
- 1 Red onion

- 1/4 cup Lime juice
- 1/2-1 Jalapeno (seeded and finely chopped)

- 1 Ripe avocado
- 1 Tbsp Lime juice
- 1/4 cup Finely chopped Cilantro
- ½ cup Sour Cream
- Unsweetened almond milk (optional)
- Salt and Pepper
- Fresh Cilantro
- Lime slices
Instructions Prep Work & Marinade:
- Wash and seed the peppers, cut peppers and onion into bit sized pieces – I usually aim for ~ 1″ pieces. Set aside.
- At this point, I like to chop the jalapeno and peel / crush the garlic, before I use the cutting board for the chicken.
- Trim the chicken breast – if needed – and cut into bite sized pieces. Again, I aim for about 1″ on these.
- Place the chicken pieces in a large ziplock baggie, set aside.
- Combine marinade ingredients in a mini food processor or blender, blitz until well combined.
- Pour marinade over the chicken. Seal bag – squeezing out most of the air – and gently massage the marinade into the chicken, ensuring every piece is fully coated.
- Transfer to the fridge, chill for at least 1 hour, ideally 3+ hours. (You can do this overnight if you need!).
Avocado Crema Dip:
- Peel and pit the avocado, chop into small pieces.
- Place avocado pieces, lime juice, and cilantro into the mini food processor, blitz until smooth and well combined.
- Add sour cream, blitz again to combine. Thin with a little almond milk, if desired, before seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
Assemble & Cook
- When you’re ready to cook the skewers, preheat your grill. We aim for a medium-high heat.
- Thread the peppers, onions, and chicken onto skewers, alternating ingredients as you go.
- Brush or spray the grill grates with a little oil. Place the prepared skewers on the grill.
- Grill skewers until chicken is fully cooked – the cook time will vary depending on your grill, and how you cut the chicken pieces. It usually works out to 4-5 minutes per side for us – flipped once.
- Note: If using wooden/bamboo skewers, soak them in warm water for at least 30 minutes before threading the ingredients and cooking.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro, limes slices, and avocado dip.
