Steps

1

Take the chicken breast halves and butterfly them to make them as thin as possible without tearing. Season with the grated garlic, salt, and pepper.
2

Lay the chicken flat and place a slice of ham and a slice of mozzarella cheese on each piece. Roll up tightly.
3

Wrap each chicken roll with 2 slices of bacon, securing with a toothpick if needed to hold the shape. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 45 minutes.
4

While the chicken bakes, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Once melted, add all-purpose flour and stir until smooth. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano, and cook for about 12 minutes until thickened. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese at the end, reserving a little for serving.
5

Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks and slice into 3/4-inch (2 cm) rounds. Serve with the sauce poured over the top and sprinkle with the reserved Parmesan cheese. Enjoy with a side salad.
