Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 6 slices turkey bacon
- 4 slices chicken ham
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Flatten chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap to about ½ inch thick.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- In a small bowl, mix chopped spinach, crumbled feta, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
- Place one slice of chicken ham on each flattened breast. Spread an even layer of the spinach-feta mixture over the ham, leaving edges free.
- Roll each chicken breast tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling.
- Wrap each roll with a slice of turkey bacon and secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the rolls on all sides for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from oven and let the rolls rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice into 1–2 inch pieces and serve.
