Equipment

  • 1 Casserole
  • 1 Sharp Knife
  • 1 Aluminum Foil

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Chicken Breasts
  • 2 Buffalo Mozzarella
  • 1 Cup Frozen Spinach
  • Seasoning – alternative

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather the chicken breasts, mozzarella, spinach and your seasoning of choice.
  • Butterfly each chicken breast by cutting it horizontally. Gently pound the chicken with a meat mallet to ensure an even thickness. This helps it cook evenly and makes rolling easier.
  • Place a piece of mozzarella on each chicken breast. Top it with a generous amount of frozen spinach.
  • Carefully roll up each chicken breast with the mozzarella and spinach inside. Secure with toothpicks if necessary to hold everything in place.
  • Place the chicken roll ups in a baking dish. Add any extra spinach and cheese around the chicken for extra flavor.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear.
  • Remove the foil and let the roll ups rest for a few minutes. Serve with chopped parsley or over rice for a complete meal. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, mushroom powder, panko, or your preferred seasoning blend to enhance the flavor.
  • If you have leftover shredded or cooked chicken, like rotisserie chicken, dicing it can save you time.
  • For a flavorful twist, try adding sautéed peppers and onions, or a slice of ham or prosciutto to the filling.
