Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
3. Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta, minced garlic, and dried oregano.
4. Stuff and Roll: Carefully butterfly each chicken breast and pound them to an even thickness. Spoon the filling onto each breast and roll them up tightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
5. Optional Browning: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the rolled chicken breasts seam-side down for about 2-3 minutes, then flip and brown for another 1-2 minutes.
6. Bake to Perfection: Place the rolled chicken in the prepared baking dish, seam-side down. Bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove any toothpicks, slice the chicken if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
To ensure your Rolled Up Chicken comes out perfectly every time, pound the chicken evenly, secure the rolls with toothpicks, avoid overstuffing, check for doneness with a meat thermometer, and let it rest before slicing.
