Tender chicken roulade filled with flavorful ingredients and cooked to perfection. This elegant yet easy recipe is perfect for family dinners, holidays, and special occasions.

Ingredients

For the Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Filling
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
For Garnish (Optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped
Extra Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Butterfly each chicken breast and place between two sheets of plastic wrap.
Pound the chicken to an even ¼-inch thickness.
Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a bowl, combine spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, and Italian seasoning.
Spread the filling evenly over each chicken breast, leaving a small border around the edges.
Carefully roll each chicken breast tightly from one end to the other.
Secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the roulades for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Rest for 5 minutes before removing twine or toothpicks.
Slice into rounds and garnish with parsley and Parmesan before serving.

Notes

Substitute spinach with sautéed mushrooms or roasted red peppers.
Swiss, provolone, or feta cheese can replace mozzarella.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfectly cooked chicken.
Let the roulades rest before slicing to help retain juices.
