Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.
  3. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and carefully slice them horizontally, almost all the way through, leaving one long side attached.
  4. Open up the chicken breasts like a book and pound them gently to flatten them.
  5. Divide the spinach mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, spreading it over the surface.
  6. Roll up each chicken breast tightly and secure with toothpicks.
  7. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sear the chicken roulades on all sides until golden brown.
  8. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  9. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  10. Remove the toothpicks and let the roulades rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  11. Serve the Chicken Spinach Roulade with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
