Spinach and Feta Chicken Rolls
A delightful combination of tender chicken filled with a savory spinach, feta, and sun-dried tomato mixture. Perfect for a flavorful and healthy dinner!
Ingredients:
- For the Chicken Rolls:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Toothpicks for securing
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture with the crumbled feta cheese and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Carefully butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Place the butterflied chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and gently pound it to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Stuff and Roll the Chicken:
- Spoon a portion of the spinach and feta mixture onto each chicken breast.
- Roll each chicken breast tightly around the filling and secure the edges with toothpicks.
- Bake the Chicken Rolls:
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Serve:
- Remove the toothpicks before serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and additional chopped sun-dried tomatoes if desired.
