Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil spray and set it aside.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally, creating a pocket or flat surface for rolling. Pound each piece gently to an even thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix fat-free cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the surface of each chicken breast.
Place a small handful of baby spinach leaves on top of the cream cheese layer.
Carefully roll up each chicken breast tightly, starting from the narrower end, and secure it with toothpicks if necessary.
Arrange the chicken roll-ups seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray.
Bake the chicken roll-ups in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. Discard the toothpicks, if used.
Serve warm and enjoy these healthy, flavorful chicken roll-ups.
