# Steps to follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
02 - Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
03 - Rub chicken breasts on both sides with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
04 - Combine herbed stuffing mix, chicken broth, melted butter, shallot, celery, and parsley in a medium bowl. Mix until just moistened.
05 - Spread about 1/4 of the stuffing mixture evenly onto each chicken breast, then roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
06 - Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Sauté garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, oregano, and thyme. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat.
07 - Place stuffed chicken roulades seam-side down in the prepared dish. Pour sauce evenly over the top and bake for 30–35 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is golden brown.
