Instructions
1
1. Begin by heating a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion and minced garlic for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cooled onion and garlic mixture with the chopped olives, optional sun-dried tomatoes, fresh parsley, basil, shredded marble cheese, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix well to create the stuffing.

3. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and use a rolling pin or meat mallet to carefully flatten them to about 1/2 inch thick.
4
4. Spoon an equal portion of the cheese filling onto the center of each chicken breast. Roll the chicken tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides to secure the stuffing, and use toothpicks to seal the rolls.

5. In the same frying pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbly, gently place the stuffed chicken rolls in the pan. Brown the chicken for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve an even golden crust.
6
6. After browning, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and let the chicken simmer for 10 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through.

7. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and keep it warm. Increase the heat to high, adding the chicken broth, and white wine or additional broth to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping up any browned bits, and let it reduce by half to create a flavorful sauce.

8. Slice each chicken roll into four medallions, drizzle the sauce over the top, and garnish with chopped green onions and additional parsley. Serve immediately.
