Combine Parmesan cheese with Italian seasoning and chives and sprinkle over chicken breasts. At one end of each breast place 3 strips of roasted pepper. Top with 1 tablespoon shredded cheese. Roll each breast up starting on the side with the peppers and cheese. Insert a toothpick in each roll to prevent unrolling. Place in prepared baking dish.
