Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
1 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed and chopped
4 ounces light cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the light cream cheese, chopped spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Lay the pounded chicken breasts flat on a clean surface.
Spread an equal amount of the spinach and cream cheese mixture over each chicken breast.
Roll each chicken breast tightly, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Place the chicken roll ups seam side down in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
Sprinkle the dried Italian seasoning evenly over the chicken roll ups.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-17 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks and serving.
