Delicious Chicken Roulade Recipe with Spinach and Cheese

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 large chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup spinach (fresh or cooked, chopped)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.

    This helps the chicken cook evenly.
  2. Make the Filling

    In a bowl, combine chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, grated parmesan, and minced garlic. Mix well until combined.

    You can add salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Fill the Chicken

    Spread the filling mixture evenly over the pounded chicken breasts, leaving a small border around the edges.

    Don't overfill to prevent spillage.
  4. Roll the Chicken

    Carefully roll the chicken breasts from one end to the other, securing the filling inside. Use toothpicks or kitchen twine to secure the rolls.

    Ensure the seam side is down when placing in the baking dish.
  5. Cook the Roulade

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the roulades on all sides until golden, then transfer to the oven.

    Cooking time may vary; check for doneness.
  6. Serve

    Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Slice and serve warm.

    Pair with a salad or pasta for a complete meal.
