Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 8 slices Prosciutto
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 12 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the fresh spinach and minced garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, mix the cooked spinach, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Lay each chicken breast flat and spread 1/4 of the spinach-cheese mixture onto each piece, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll each chicken breast tightly from one end to the other, securing the seam with toothpicks.
Wrap each chicken roulade with two slices of prosciutto, overlapping slightly to cover the roll completely.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken roulades on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken roulades from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.
Slice the roulades into pinwheels for a beautiful presentation and serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
