Ingredients
- 2 –4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 100 g 3.5 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 –8 slices of cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice
- 8 –12 slices of fresh bacon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 –2 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Sauté the Spinach & Prepare the Filling
- Heat a pan over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter. Add the spinach leaves and sauté until softened. Once cooled slightly, chop the spinach finely and mix it with the cream cheese in a bowl until well combined.Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a meat mallet to pound them evenly until they are flat. Season both sides with your preferred spices, such as garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning.
- Lay a slice of cheese on each chicken breast. Spread a generous amount of the spinach and cream cheese mixture on top. Carefully roll up the chicken breast, keeping the filling tucked inside.
Wrap with Bacon
- Wrap each chicken roll tightly with bacon slices, ensuring they overlap slightly to seal the roll.
Cook the Chicken Rolls
- Heat a small amount of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Place the bacon-wrapped chicken rolls seam-side down and cook, turning occasionally, until the bacon is golden and crispy on all sides, and the chicken is fully cooked.
