This chicken breast roll can be served hotwith buttered noodles and tomato sauce or at room temperature thinly sliced andserved with crusty bread. Either way it is a great meal for all seasons. I usedmozzarella for stuffing but any melting cheese or even blue cheese orcombination of both is great. Use of thermometer is almost a must since chickenbreast dries very quickly, you don’t want to go over 160 °F. Remember that breastwill keep cooking after being removed from oven. As far as seasonings goes,again, it is up to you. Touch of heat is always nice in any meat roll, Iusually use chilies pepper flakes and freshly ground white pepper.
