Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup pine nuts (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute), then stir in spinach until wilted. Remove from heat and mix in feta and pine nuts.
  3. Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to about ½ inch thick.
  4. Spoon the spinach-feta mixture onto one edge of each chicken breast and roll tightly, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  5. Season the roll-ups with salt and pepper, place seam-side down in the baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and cover with foil.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). For a golden finish, uncover during the last five minutes.
