Description
Rolled Up Chicken with Feta, Spinach, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes is a flavorful Mediterranean-inspired dish made with juicy chicken breasts filled with creamy cheese, tangy tomatoes, and vibrant spinach, baked to perfection in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
• 2 chicken breasts, halved & pounded thin (1/4 inch thick)
• 1/3 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 8 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1.5 oz crumbled feta cheese
• 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed and chopped
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Oil mister or cooking spray
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta, cream cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese.
3. Lay each chicken half flat and spread 1/4 of the mixture evenly over each piece.
4. Roll up each chicken breast tightly and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Spray with oil and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and remaining Parmesan cheese.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until nearly cooked through.
7. Broil for 5 minutes to brown the tops slightly.
8. Let rest briefly before serving.
Notes
– You can substitute roasted red peppers for sun-dried tomatoes.
– Use dairy-free cheeses if preferred.
– Fresh spinach can be used instead of frozen; just sauté it lightly first.
– To reheat, warm in a 350°F oven for 10–12 minutes or microwave gently.
– Not recommended for freezing after cooking due to texture changes.
