Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 cups Spinach
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
- 8 pieces Toothpicks or kitchen twine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the spinach and minced garlic until the spinach is wilted and tender, about 3 minutes.
Transfer the cooked spinach and garlic to a bowl, let it cool slightly, and then mix in the cream cheese and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Divide the spinach-cheese mixture evenly among the flattened chicken breasts, spreading it over one side.
Carefully roll up each chicken breast tightly, starting at the short end, and secure it with toothpicks or kitchen twine to prevent it from unrolling while cooking.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the rolled chicken breasts seam-side down first, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Sprinkle the tops of the seared chicken roulades with the remaining mozzarella cheese, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into medallions or serving whole.
Enjoy your delicious chicken roulade with your favorite side dishes!
