Scale

- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup bread crumbs

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, ranch seasoning, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese until well combined.
- Cut chicken breasts into thin, flat pieces or butterfly them to create pockets.
- Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture onto each chicken piece and roll or fold to enclose the filling.
- Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Dip each chicken roll in the egg, then coat with bread crumbs.
- Place the coated chicken bombs on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and coating is golden brown.
