Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, chopped spinach, minced garlic, and dried Italian seasoning. Stir until well combined.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the center of each flattened chicken breast.
Roll the chicken breast tightly around the filling. Secure the edges with toothpicks to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Season the outside of the chicken rolls with salt and black pepper evenly on all sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the stuffed chicken rolls seam-side down in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for an additional 15 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the stuffed chicken rolls from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks.
Slice each roll into medallions or serve whole. Enjoy hot with your favorite side dish!
