Equipment

  • 1 large cutting board
  • 1 meat mallet or rolling pin
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 plastic wrap
  • 1 baking dish
  • 1 toothpicks or kitchen twine
  • 1 cooking brush
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 pounds.
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste pieces fresh basil leaves for garnish Optional.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap and season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and oregano. Mix well until fully combined.
  • Spread an even layer of the cheese and spinach mixture over each chicken breast, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Starting at one end, carefully roll each chicken breast tightly into a roulade. Secure the ends with toothpicks or tie with kitchen twine.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear each roulade for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Transfer the roulades to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks or twine before slicing.
  • Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
