Equipment

  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 meat mallet or rolling pin
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 baking dish
  • 1 skewers or kitchen twine
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 lbs total.
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs Optional, for topping.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Lay the chicken breasts flat and evenly spread the cheese and spinach mixture onto each breast, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • Carefully roll each chicken breast tightly from one end to the other. Secure with skewers or tie with kitchen twine to hold the filling in place.
  • Heat the olive oil in a baking dish over medium heat. Sear the rolled chicken on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them over the chicken rolls for added texture.
  • Place the seared chicken in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove from the oven and let the roulades rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
