Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of wax paper and use a meat mallet to gently flatten them to about 1/4 inch thick.

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to your taste.

Bake the chicken rolls in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, basting with the pan juices occasionally to keep them moist.
