Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to about 1/4 inch thick using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces and combine them with the spinach mixture.

Step 6

Lay the pounded chicken breasts flat and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Divide the spinach and sun-dried tomato mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, spreading it over each one.

Step 7

Carefully roll up each chicken breast tightly, securing with toothpicks if necessary.

Step 8

Combine the almond flour, dried Italian herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a shallow dish.

Step 9

Brush each rolled chicken breast with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice, then roll in the almond flour mixture until evenly coated.

Step 10

Place the chicken rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown on the outside.

Step 12

Let the chicken rolls rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
