EQUIPMENT

1 Sharp knife
1 Meat Pounder
1 Casserole dish
1 Aluminum Foil

INGREDIENTS

4 Pieces Chicken Breasts
1 Cup Spinach Frozen
1 Piece Buffalo Mozzarella
1 Tablespoon Seasoning Optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Gather all the ingredients for the recipe, including boneless chicken breasts, frozen spinach, mozzarella cheese, and any additional seasonings or spices you may want to add for flavor. Ensure the chopped spinach is thawed and drained and the mozzarella cheese is sliced or shredded and ready to use. At the same time, preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius or 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Take each chicken breast and carefully slice it in half horizontally, creating a butterfly shape. Use a sharp knife for a great cut. This technique involves making a horizontal cut along the side of the chicken breast but not cutting all the way through. Once you open the chicken breast like a book, use a meat hammer or a rolling pin to gently pound it to an even thickness. This step helps tenderize the meat and ensures even cooking.
Lay the butterflied chicken breasts flat on a clean work surface. Stuff each chicken breast with a layer of thawed spinach, followed by mozzarella cheese slices or shredded cheese. Carefully roll up each chicken breast from the spinach and cheese filling end. Be generous with the spinach cheese filling, but make sure it does not overflow.
Take a casserole dish, skillet, or baking pan and arrange four breasts in the dish, seam side down. Add extra spinach leaves and mozzarella cheese slices on top of the stuffed breasts for an extra burst of flavor and presentation. Cover the dish with aluminum foil, ensuring it is tightly sealed to trap the moisture inside. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. During the final minutes of baking, remove the foil to allow the cheese on top to melt and slightly brown.

NOTES

Spinach – If you use frozen spinach, thaw the spinach and drain any excess water before using it as a filling. I have used frozen spinach for this recipe, but you can also use fresh baby spinach leaves.
Seasoning – Before filling, you can season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and other desired spices.
Toothpicks -Secure the rolled chicken breasts with toothpicks or kitchen twine, if needed, to ensure the filling stays intact while baking.
Cheese – While mozzarella cheese works well in this recipe, swap it with parmesan cheese, cheddar, feta cheese, goat cheese, shredded mozzarella or cheese mixture.
Herbs and spices – Add herbs like basil, oregano, paprika or parsley for extra flavors.
Cooking time – Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
