Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 5 to 6 large (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds) boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded thin, choose large chicken breasts - IMPORTANT! do not use the frozen seasoned, they are injected with water and do not flatten well)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter (slightly cooled, might need more)
  • BREADING
  • 1 1/4 cups dry breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or to taste
  • SPINACH FILLING
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 package (10 ounce) fresh baby spinach (8 cups fresh)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup cream cheese (Philadelphia Garlic Herb Spreadable Cream Cheese)
  • Salt and pepper
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Grease an 11 x 7-inch baking dish. In a large skillet, saute spinach in 2 teaspoons oil stirring constantly until spinach is wilted (about 5-6 minutes). Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat. Stir in the spreadable cheese and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Step 2: Spread the prepared filling mixture onto each of the flattened chicken breasts; starting at the short end roll up each breast, don’t worry about covering the whole breast with the filling (if desired you may secure each breast with a long toothpick but it is not necessary as after the breasts are chilled they will hold together).

  • Step 3: Place the breasts on a large plate or platter; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for minimum 3 hours or up to 24 hours (the longer the better).

  • Step 4: Place the melted butter in bowl. In a shallow bowl combine all the breadcrumb ingredients together.

  • Step 5: Gently coat each rolled breast firstly into melted butter then coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated breasts seam-side down into a greased 11 x 7-inch baking dish spacing slightly apart.

  • Step 6: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (set oven rack to bottom position). Bake for about 35-40 minutes (some of the cream cheese mixture might spill out while cooking, just scoop it onto the plate when serving).
