A delightful culinary adventure that combines tender chicken with the savory flavors of feta and spinach. This juicy rolled chicken recipe is not only a feast for the senses but also a celebration of Mediterranean-inspired cooking.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the wilted spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, and oregano. Mix well.
Prepare the chicken breasts by placing them between two pieces of plastic wrap. Gently pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/2-inch thick.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
Spread an equal amount of the spinach and feta mixture onto each chicken breast, leaving about an inch around the edges.
Carefully roll each chicken breast tightly, starting from the thinner end. Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
In a baking dish, place the rolled chicken breasts seam-side down. Pour the chicken broth and lemon juice around the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
