Ingredients
Scale
- 5 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 package frozen spinach (thawed and well drained)
- 1 small round feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp butter (for topping)
Instructions
- Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise.
- Place between plastic wrap and pound thin with a mallet or rolling pin until about ¼ inch thick.
- Squeeze as much water as possible out of the thawed spinach.
- In a bowl, mix spinach with crumbled feta, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Divide the filling evenly between the chicken pieces.
- Roll each chicken breast tightly around the spinach and feta mixture.
- Place rolled chicken into a greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle with a little extra seasoning and top each piece with a small dab of butter.
- Bake at 360°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Be sure to drain the spinach well — this keeps the filling creamy, not watery.
- Onion powder adds amazing flavor, but feel free to use any seasonings you love.
- Try serving with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or mashed cauliflower for a complete meal.
