Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

Step 2

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the baby spinach and minced garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the cooked spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well to form a cohesive filling.

Step 5

Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto one side of each pounded chicken breast. Starting at one end, roll the chicken breast tightly around the filling and secure with toothpicks.

Step 6

In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Brush each chicken roll with the remaining olive oil and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.

Step 8

Place the coated chicken rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. Remove toothpicks before eating. Enjoy!
