Juicy chicken breasts rolled up with a flavorful Mediterranean filling of spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and tangy feta cheese. Seared for a golden crust and baked to perfection, these chicken rolls are elegant, wholesome, and full of vibrant flavor.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • For the Chicken Rolls:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (packed in oil, drained)
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Toothpicks or kitchen twine (for securing)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment. Flatten chicken breasts between parchment or plastic wrap to about ½ inch thick.
  2. Make the Filling: In a small bowl, combine chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta, and mozzarella (if using).
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Season chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spoon the filling onto each breast, roll tightly, and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  4. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the rolls for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Bake: Transfer the seared rolls to the prepared baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Swap spinach with kale or arugula for a variation.
  • Add artichokes or roasted red peppers for more Mediterranean flavor.
  • Mix in cream cheese for an extra creamy filling.
  • To grill instead of bake, cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Make ahead: Assemble up to a day before and refrigerate until baking.
