Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 120 grams Cream cheese
• 100 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 100 grams Fresh spinach
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 pieces Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped spinach, minced garlic, and parsley. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until well-combined.

Step 4

Place a portion of the cheese and spinach mixture onto the center of each chicken breast. Roll the chicken tightly around the filling and secure the seam with toothpicks.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and paprika. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken roll ups.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken roll ups for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. This helps lock in the flavor.

Step 7

Transfer the seared chicken roll ups to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with a side of vegetables, salad, or your favorite grain. Enjoy!
