Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 8 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 cups Spinach leaves
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 12 Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Finely mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Season the flattened chicken breasts with paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Spread 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto each chicken breast, followed by a layer of spinach leaves.
Roll each chicken breast tightly from one end to the other, securing the rolls with toothpicks to hold them in place.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken rolls on all sides until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet with the seared chicken rolls to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and registers an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rolls rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley and serve warm.
