Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound them to an even 1/4-inch thickness.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this mixture over both sides of each chicken breast.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the baby spinach, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
Stir in the almond flour and fresh parsley into the vegetable mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until combined.
Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the lemon juice.
Place the flattened chicken breasts flat on a cutting board. Spoon the vegetable filling evenly onto each chicken breast, leaving a small border on all sides.
Carefully roll up each chicken breast tightly from one end to the other. Use toothpicks to secure each roll if needed.
Place the chicken rolls seam side down on a baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Let the chicken rolls cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
