Additional Tips and Notes
- Customizing Your Roll-Ups: Feel free to add or substitute ingredients based on your preferences. Sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, or different cheeses like feta or goat cheese can add unique twists to your chicken roll-ups.
- Marinating: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in olive oil, lemon juice, and your favorite herbs for 30 minutes before assembling the roll-ups.
- Grilling Tips: Ensure your grill is properly preheated before placing the chicken roll-ups on it. This helps to create nice grill marks and cook the chicken evenly.
