Ingredients
  

4 large chicken breasts, thinly sliced

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Olive oil, for cooking

Toothpicks (for securing the roll-ups)

Instructions
 

Prepare Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a meat mallet, gently pound each chicken breast to an even thickness for easier rolling.

    Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and fresh basil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.

      Fill and Roll: Take a chicken breast and place a generous spoonful of the filling in the center. Roll the chicken tightly and secure it with a toothpick. Repeat for all chicken pieces.

        Sear Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken roll-ups and sear on all sides until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side).

          Add Cheese: Once the chicken is seared, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of each roll-up.

            Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

              Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks and garnish with extra fresh basil. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes.
