Ingredients
For the Chicken Rolls:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (packed in oil, drained)
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
2 tablespoons olive oil (for searing)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
Toothpicks or kitchen twine (to secure the rolls)
Fresh basil or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
-
Flatten the chicken breasts between parchment or plastic wrap using a mallet or rolling pin until about ½-inch thick.
-
Make the filling by combining chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta, and optional mozzarella in a bowl.
-
Season the chicken on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
-
Add the filling down the center of each breast. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
-
Sear the chicken rolls in olive oil over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
-
Bake the rolls in the oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
-
Rest and serve. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then remove toothpicks, slice if desired, and garnish with herbs.
Notes
-
Flattening the chicken helps with even cooking and easier rolling.
-
Optional mozzarella adds a creamy, melty touch to balance the tangy feta.
-
Serve with lemon rice, roasted veggies, or a simple side salad for a full meal.
-
These rolls can be prepped ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking.
-
Leftovers reheat beautifully in the oven or microwave.
