Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 120 grams Goat cheese
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 8 pieces Toothpicks
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 until about ¼-inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix together the goat cheese, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until smooth.
Season each pounded chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Spread an even layer of the goat cheese mixture over the top of each chicken breast.
Lay a few spinach leaves on top of the goat cheese layer, covering it evenly.
Carefully roll up each chicken breast from one end to the other, securing the roll closed with toothpicks.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken rolls on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rolls rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove toothpicks before serving.
Slice into rounds if desired for presentation and serve warm with your favorite side dish.
