Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces Fresh spinach, chopped
  • 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Prepare the chicken: Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound lightly until about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and nutmeg. Mix well until everything is evenly combined and creamy.
  4. Stuff the chicken: Spoon one-fourth of the cheese mixture onto the wide end of each pounded chicken breast. Roll the chicken up tightly around the filling. Secure each roll with toothpicks if needed.
  5. Sear the chicken: Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken rolls for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden brown.
  6. Bake the chicken: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and the juices run clear.
  7. Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Remove any toothpicks before eating.

Notes

  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, substitute half of the cream cheese with goat cheese.
  • For extra moisture, you can wrap the stuffed chicken breasts loosely in prosciutto before baking.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is truly softened so the filling mixes smoothly.
