Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
In a small bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, drained mushrooms, 1/4 cup yogurt, chives, parsley, and pimento to create the filling.
-
Place one chicken breast half, boned side up, between two pieces of clear plastic wrap.
-
Working from the center to the edges, pound the chicken lightly with a meat mallet until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
-
Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle the chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
-
Spread an even layer of the mushroom-cheese filling over each flattened chicken breast.
-
Fold in the sides of the chicken and roll up tightly from one end to the other.
-
Arrange the rolls seam-side down in a 10x6x2-inch baking dish.
-
In a small bowl, mix the fine dry bread crumbs and paprika.
-
Brush the tops of the chicken rolls with the remaining 1 tablespoon of yogurt.
-
Sprinkle the crumb-paprika mixture evenly over the yogurt-coated chicken.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is tender, cooked through, and no longer pink in the center.
