Note from Chyrel” I pounded the chicken breast flat between plastic wrap, filled, rolled them and put them seam side down in the pan they stayed fine without toothpicks or string. Also I used about a 1/4 cup honey with a good squeeze of yellow mustard for the honey mustard and then put it in the microwave to melt. I then drizzled it over the chicken before baking. The first time I made this I left out the honey mustard and it’s much better with it I have found. I also ended up using more butter to dip the chicken in.
