Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Next, prepare the chicken breasts by placing them between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pounding them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper, mixing until smooth.
Take a chicken breast and spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture over one side, then roll the chicken tightly from the narrow end to the wide end, securing it with toothpicks if necessary.
Repeat this process for all chicken breasts. In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and a little more salt and pepper.
Dip each chicken roll-up into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the coated chicken roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the rainbow veggie slaw by shredding the cabbage, carrots, and bell peppers into thin strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, and a pinch of salt to create a dressing.
Pour the dressing over the shredded veggies and toss to combine. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into pinwheels.
Serve the crispy chicken roll-ups alongside the colorful veggie slaw for a fun and nutritious meal!
