- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh thyme, for garnish
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally but not all the way through, then open like a book.
- Place each piece between two sheets of parchment paper and pound to even thickness using a meat mallet.
- In a medium bowl, combine chopped spinach, feta, cream cheese, bacon, garlic, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the filling evenly over each flattened chicken breast.
- Roll each breast tightly, secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine if needed.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken on all sides until golden brown, about 4–5 minutes total.
- Transfer to a baking dish and roast for 20–25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh thyme and serve hot.
Notes
- Ensure even thickness of chicken for easy rolling and even cooking.
- Use toothpicks or kitchen twine to keep rolls secure while cooking.
