  4. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and smoked paprika.
  5. Place filling along one edge of each chicken breast, roll tightly, and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  6. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the rolled chicken for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on each side.
