Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Skillet
  • Meat mallet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish with a small amount of olive oil.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown. Stir in the garlic and spinach, cooking just until the spinach wilts. Remove the pan from heat and mix in the mozzarella, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Place each chicken breast between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Spoon the mushroom and spinach mixture evenly across each piece, then roll the chicken tightly around the filling and set seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
  • Brush the tops of the roll-ups with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle lightly with any extra salt and pepper if desired. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese is bubbling inside.

Notes

Let the roll-ups rest for five minutes after baking so the juices stay inside when you slice them. If you want a bit more color on top, run the dish under the broiler for one minute at the end. Leftovers reheat well in a covered dish at 350°F to keep the chicken from drying out.
