Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 pieces toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, chopped spinach, minced garlic, and dried Italian seasoning. Stir until well combined.
Step 3
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the center of each flattened chicken breast.
Step 4
Roll the chicken breast tightly around the filling. Secure the edges with toothpicks to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Step 5
Season the outside of the chicken rolls with salt and black pepper evenly on all sides.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Place the stuffed chicken rolls seam-side down in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 8
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for an additional 15 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Remove the stuffed chicken rolls from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks.
Step 11
Slice each roll into medallions or serve whole. Enjoy hot with your favorite side dish!
