Prepare the Chicken Rolls
Take the chicken breasts, cut them in half, and beat them flat using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a separate bowl, season the chicken with salt, black pepper, sweet paprika, and olive oil. Mix everything well.
Take each piece of seasoned chicken and place a small amount of mozzarella (or cheddar cheese) in the center.
Roll the chicken up tightly, securing the cheese inside.

Assemble and Bake
Transfer the seasoned vegetable mixture into a large oven-safe tray.
Place the chicken rolls on top of the vegetables.
Cover the tray with foil and pour a little water over the rolls to keep everything moist.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake for about 1 hour.
After 1 hour, remove the foil, sprinkle some cheddar cheese on top of the rolls, and bake for an additional 10 minutes to melt the cheese and brown the top.
