Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 8 slices Prosciutto
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 12 pieces Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the fresh spinach and minced garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix the cooked spinach, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Lay each chicken breast flat and spread 1/4 of the spinach-cheese mixture onto each piece, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 6

Roll each chicken breast tightly from one end to the other, securing the seam with toothpicks.

Step 7

Wrap each chicken roulade with two slices of prosciutto, overlapping slightly to cover the roll completely.

Step 8

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken roulades on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove the chicken roulades from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.

Step 11

Slice the roulades into pinwheels for a beautiful presentation and serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
