Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Spinach (fresh, chopped)
- 0.5 cup Pecan nuts (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs (beaten)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Pecans (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breasts evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, chopped spinach, finely chopped pecans, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of the cheese and spinach mixture onto the flattened chicken breasts. Roll each chicken breast tightly and secure the seam with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
Season the outside of the chicken rolls with the remaining salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Prepare a breading station: place the breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, and melted butter in three separate shallow bowls. Dip each chicken roll first into the eggs, then coat it with breadcrumbs.
Place the chicken rolls seam-side down into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the coating is golden brown.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir continuously and cook for 4-5 minutes until the glaze is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Once the chicken rolls are cooked, remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove toothpicks or kitchen twine.
Drizzle the praline glaze generously over the chicken rolls and garnish with chopped pecans.
Serve immediately, paired with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
