01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix together the ricotta, half of the mozzarella, half of the Parmesan, and some Italian seasoning until well combined. Lay out the flattened chicken breasts on your workspace, then spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the center of each one. Roll them up around the filling and secure with a toothpick to keep everything inside.

Step 2
Place the chicken rolls in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Scatter the mushrooms around the chicken, then pour the white wine and lemon juice over everything. Dot the chicken with half of the butter, and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan on top.

Step 3
Pop the dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside—you can check with a meat thermometer to be sure it reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 4
While the chicken is baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne until it’s tender but still has a bit of bite, about 11 minutes. Drain the pasta and stir in the remaining butter.

Step 5
Serve the chicken rolls over the pasta and spoon some of the pan juices on top for extra flavor.

These rolls are packed with juicy chicken and flavorful herbs, making them a satisfying meal. They are easy to make and perfect for both family dinners and casual gatherings. The combination of tender meat and a crispy outer layer is truly comforting.
How to serve
Serve these rolls with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. They also pair well with a light dipping sauce like garlic aioli or a tangy mustard. For a heartier option, try serving them alongside mashed potatoes or rice.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in the oven to keep the outside crispy. You can also freeze the rolls before baking; just thaw them overnight in the fridge before cooking.
