Mozzarella chicken roll-ups

My husband couldn't stop talking about how good this was tonight.
2 oz. Cream cheese, softened
1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1/4 tsp.  Garlic salt
1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
2 small boneless skinless chicken breast, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness

HEAT oven to 400°F.

MIX first 4 ingredients until well blended.

PLACE chicken, top-sides down, on work surface; top with cheese mixture. Starting at one short end, tightly roll up each breast, tucking in ends of chicken to completely enclose filling. Place, seam-side down, in 9-inch square baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.

BAKE 30 min. or until chicken is done (165°F).

Variations
 Mix in 1/4 cup finely diced green pepper with the cheese mixture.
