Crispy Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Roulade
Ingredients
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Olive oil for searing
Honey balsamic glaze (for drizzling)
Fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, mix the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, and minced garlic until well combined.
Flatten Chicken: Butterfly the chicken breasts and place them between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Stuff and Roll: Spread the spinach mixture evenly over one side of each chicken breast. Roll the chicken up tightly, starting from one end. Secure the rolls with toothpicks if necessary.
Breading Station: Place flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs in a second, and Panko mixed with smoked paprika in a third.
Coat: Dredge each chicken roll in flour, dip into the egg wash, and then press firmly into the Panko mixture until fully coated.
Sear and Bake: Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken rolls for 2–3 minutes per side until the crust is golden brown.
Finish Cooking: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C.
Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thick rounds. Arrange on a plate and drizzle with honey balsamic glaze and fresh chives as seen in the image.
