Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 bunch asparagus
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup baby carrots

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or nonstick spray.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts on a flat surface and, using a sharp knife, carefully butterfly them by slicing horizontally three-quarters of the way through. Lay the chicken open like a book and cover with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken to an even thickness, if necessary.

Step 3

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, half the smoked paprika, and half the salt. Mix until smooth. Add the fresh spinach and stir until well incorporated.

Step 4

Divide the spinach-cheese filling evenly among the chicken breasts. Spread the filling on one side of each, then roll the chicken tightly from one end to the other. Secure with toothpicks if required.

Step 5

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the rolled chicken breasts and sprinkle with the remaining paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Arrange the chicken rolls on one side of the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, toss the asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and baby carrots with the remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread the vegetables on the other side of the baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 8

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Flip the chicken rolls halfway through cooking for even browning, and give the veggies a quick stir if needed.

Step 9

Remove the toothpicks before serving. Plate the chicken rolls alongside the roasted vegetables for a balanced and delicious meal.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your Shortcut Stuffed Chicken Rolls with Veggies!
