Cheesy Broccoli & Mushroom Chicken Rollatini with Asparagus
This juicy chicken rollatini is stuffed with a creamy blend of cream cheese, mozzarella, and cottage cheese, combined with savory mushrooms and shredded broccoli for a flavorful, nutrient-packed filling. A tender asparagus stalk tucked inside adds a subtle crunch, while a perfect blend of garlic, onion, paprika, and Italian seasoning enhances every bite. As it bakes, the extra filling melts into a rich, cheesy sauce that coats the chicken, making this a decadent yet protein-packed dish you’ll want to savor until the last bite.
Equipment

- Sharp knife
- Meat mallet (for pounding chicken)
- mixing bowl
- baking sheet
- Parchment paper (optional)
- Spoon (for spreading and topping filling)
- oven
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 4-5 large chicken breasts sliced thin and pounded lightly (to make 8-9 cutlets)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for drizzling
For the Filling:
- 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup cottage cheese
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 ¼ cups shredded broccoli
- 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
For Assembly:
- 8-9 asparagus stalks trimmed
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- Slice each chicken breast into two thin cutlets and pound lightly to even thickness.
Make the Filling:
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, cottage cheese, mozzarella, shredded broccoli, mushrooms, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
Assemble the Rollatini:
- Drizzle olive oil onto a baking sheet.
- Lay out the chicken cutlets and spread a generous layer of the seasoned cheese filling onto each.
- Place one asparagus stalk at the edge of each cutlet and roll it over loosely (not too tight).
- Place the rollatini seam-side down on the oiled baking sheet.
- Spoon a little extra filling on top of each rollatini—this will melt into a rich, cheesy sauce while baking.
Bake the Rollatini:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Serve & Enjoy:
- Spoon some of the oozing cheesy sauce from the baking sheet over the rollatini when serving.
- Pair with a light salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
