Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with a little olive oil.
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper and pound them gently with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4-inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, chopped spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each chicken breast.
Tightly roll up each chicken breast from the thinner end, securing the seam with 2 toothpicks for each roll.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken rolls for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the seared chicken rollups to the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the rollups rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.
Slice the rollups into rounds for a beautiful presentation or serve them whole with your favorite side dishes.
