Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, butterflied and flattened
2 cups fresh spinach
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
For the Whipped Feta:
6 oz (170 g) feta cheese
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove
For the Hot Honey:
2 tablespoons hot honey
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic for 30 seconds, then add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from the heat and stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan. Let cool slightly.
Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika.
Divide the spinach filling between the chicken breasts, roll tightly, and secure with toothpicks if needed.
Coat each chicken roll in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, then coat completely with panko breadcrumbs.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet and brown the chicken rolls for 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Transfer to a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Meanwhile, blend the feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic until smooth and creamy.
Spread whipped feta onto serving plates.
Slice the cooked chicken rolls into thick rounds and arrange over the whipped feta.
Drizzle generously with hot honey and garnish with parsley and optional red pepper flakes before serving.
Notes
Allow the spinach filling to cool before rolling the chicken.
Secure the rolls with toothpicks if necessary.
Whipped feta can be prepared one day ahead.
Serve with roasted potatoes, green beans, Mediterranean salad, lemon rice, or roasted vegetables.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
