This chicken roulade recipe creates beautiful slices with a delicious swirl of herbs, cheese, and chicken, making it perfect for special dinners, holiday meals, or a satisfying family dinner.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

  • Toothpicks or kitchen twine (for securing)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or baking sheet.

  • Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet until evenly flattened to about ¼ inch thickness.

  • In a bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth and well mixed.

  • Lay the flattened chicken breasts flat and spread the cheese mixture evenly over each piece.

  • Add a layer of fresh spinach leaves on top of the filling.

  • Carefully roll the chicken tightly from one end to the other to create a log shape.

  • Secure each roll with toothpicks or kitchen twine.

  • Rub the outside with olive oil, then season with paprika, salt, and pepper.

  • Place the roulades seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  • Allow the chicken roulades to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into rounds and serving warm.

Notes

  • Pound the chicken evenly to make rolling easier and ensure even cooking.

  • Avoid overfilling the chicken so the filling does not spill out during baking.

  • Secure tightly with toothpicks or twine to maintain the roulade shape.

  • Let the roulades rest before slicing to keep the juices inside.
