Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 8 pieces toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to an even thickness, approximately 1/4 inch.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped spinach, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly blended.

Step 4

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each flattened chicken breast. Roll the chicken tightly around the filling, starting from the narrower end.

Step 5

Secure the rolls with toothpicks to ensure they stay intact while cooking.

Step 6

Season the outside of the chicken rolls with a mixture of paprika, additional salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the rolled chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the toothpicks carefully before serving. Garnish with extra parmesan or fresh herbs, if desired.
