Spinach and Feta Chicken Rolls


 Spinach and Feta Chicken Rolls

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Toothpicks or kitchen twine

Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • 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 about ¼ inch thickness.

Make the Filling:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, feta cheese, and minced garlic. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Stuff the Chicken:

  • Place a portion of the spinach and feta mixture onto each chicken breast, spreading it evenly.
  • Carefully roll up each chicken breast, starting from the short end, and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.

Season the Rolls:

  • Brush the chicken rolls with olive oil. Sprinkle the outside with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and paprika.

Cook the Chicken:

  • Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil, then place the chicken rolls in the skillet, seam-side down. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

Serve:

  • Remove the toothpicks or twine before serving. You can slice the rolls into medallions for a beautiful presentation. Serve with your favorite side dish, like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your Spinach and Feta Chicken Rolls!
