Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 cups baby spinach fresh, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 cup mozzarella shredded
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs or panko

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Over medium heat, in a medium saucepan with extra-virgin olive oil, sautè the garlic for one minute. When it turns golden, sautè the spinach for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside and let it cool.
  • When the spinach has cooled down, add the Parmesan and mozzarella.
  • Prepare two plates with extra-virgin olive oil for coating the rolls and another one with the breadcrumbs.
  • Using a meat tenderizer, pound the chicken filets until they’re thin enough to easily roll. Cut each in half lengthwise.
  • Lay a chicken filet on a plate, then add a layer of spinach mixture on top. Tightly roll the chicken, starting at one short end. Lightly coat the outside of the rolls with extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Coat the chicken with the breadcrumbs, pressing crumbs onto the rolls as needed. Place the rolls on a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken rollatini with spinach are cooked through and golden.
