Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch using a meat mallet.

Step 3

Season both sides of each chicken breast with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté spinach and diced red bell pepper until the spinach is wilted and peppers are tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat and mix in the low-fat mozzarella cheese.

Step 6

Lay each chicken breast flat and place a quarter of the spinach mixture in the center of each.

Step 7

Roll the chicken around the filling tightly and secure with toothpicks.

Step 8

Place chicken rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush lightly with lemon juice.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the toothpicks before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
