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 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture onto each chicken breast, leaving a small border around the edges.
Carefully roll each chicken breast tightly, starting from one end, and secure with toothpicks. In a shallow dish, mix 1 cup of breadcrumbs with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt.
Dredge each chicken roll in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the roll-ups seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil for extra crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the rainbow veggie slaw by shredding 1 cup of red cabbage, 1 cup of carrots, and 1 cup of bell peppers.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Toss the shredded veggies with the dressing until well coated. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks.
Serve the crispy chicken roll-ups alongside the colorful veggie slaw for a fun and nutritious meal!
