Ingredients

  

• 4 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 slices of mozzarella cheese
• 2 cups fresh spinach or your choice of leafy greens
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Toothpicks or skewers to hold the roll-ups together

Instructions

 

• Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take each chicken breast and flatten it using a meat mallet or rolling pin until it's about ¼ inch thick. This process ensures that the chicken cooks evenly and provides a larger surface for the fillings.
  
• Lay the flattened chicken breasts on a clean surface. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place two slices of mozzarella cheese on each chicken breast, covering them with an even layer of spinach or your chosen leafy greens. If you like, you can also add other ingredients at this stage, such as sliced bell peppers or a sprinkle of your favorite herbs.
  
• Carefully roll up each chicken breast tightly, ensuring the fillings are enclosed. Use toothpicks or skewers to secure the ends and middle of the roll-ups, preventing them from unrolling during the cooking process.
  
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken roll-ups to the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. This step will not only enhance the flavor through caramelization but also help the roll-ups hold their shape.
  
• After browning, transfer the chicken roll-ups to a baking dish. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
  
• Let the chicken roll-ups rest for a few minutes after baking. Remove the toothpicks or skewers before slicing into them. To complete this wholesome and filling meal, serve it hot with your choice of side dish, such as roasted vegetables, a light salad, or mashed potatoes.
  

Notes

For an extra flavor boost in your chicken roll-ups, try marinating the chicken breasts for at least an hour before cooking. Use a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and your favorite herbs (like rosemary or thyme) for the marinade. This not only tenderizes the chicken but also infuses it with aromatic flavors, making your roll-ups even more delicious!
