✔ Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even ¼-inch thickness.
✔ Season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano.
✅ Thinner chicken = more even cooking and easier rolling!
2️⃣ Make the Spinach & Feta Filling
✔ Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
✔ Sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
✔ Add spinach and cook for 2 minutes, until wilted.
✔ Remove from heat and stir in feta cheese (and mozzarella if using).
✅ Let the mixture cool slightly before stuffing the chicken!
3️⃣ Stuff & Roll the Chicken
✔ Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard or Greek yogurt over each chicken breast (optional).
✔ Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the spinach-feta mixture onto each piece.
✔ Roll the chicken tightly and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
✅ Tightly rolled chicken keeps the filling inside while baking!
4️⃣ Cook the Chicken Rolls
🔥 Option 1: Oven-Baked (Juicy & Easy!)
✔ Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
✔ Place rolls in a lightly greased baking dish.
✔ Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (165°F/75°C internal temp).
✅ For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end!
🔥 Option 2: Stovetop + Oven (Golden & Crispy!)
✔ Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
✔ Sear the rolls for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
✔ Transfer to a baking dish and bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes.
✅ Searing first gives a beautiful golden crust!
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
✔ Let the rolls rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
✔ Serve with roasted veggies, a fresh salad, or garlic mashed potatoes.
✔ Drizzle with lemon juice or tzatziki sauce for extra flavor! 🍋
✅ Super juicy, cheesy, and packed with nutrients!
