Chicken Spinach Roll-ups

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 4 - 4 oz Chicken Boneless, Skinless Breasts 

• 3 oz Baby Spinach, stems trimmed

• ½ Onion, diced

• 3 tbsp Butter

• 2 Garlic Cloves, minced

• 1 tbsp Cottage Cheese

• ½ c Feta Cheese, crumbled

• 1 Egg

• 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped

• ½ tsp Seasoned Salt

• ¼ tsp Black Pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

1. On a large cutting board, slice each chicken breast horizontally, almost all the way through.  This technique is called “Butterflying”.

2. Open up the breasts and pound out chicken breasts a few times so they are thin and all the same thickness.  Dry the chicken with a paper towel. 

3. In a small skillet, over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and diced onion, saute until soft for about 4-5 minutes.  

4. Add 1 minced clove of garlic and stir for 30 seconds, remove from pan and set aside.

5. In a bowl, add spinach, cottage cheese, egg, feta and sauteed onions and mix well.

6. Spray a rimmed sheet pan covered with aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray. 

7. Lay the chicken flat on a plate, add 2 heaping tablespoons of the spinach mixture, roll up the side of the chicken and secure with a couple toothpicks. 

8. Place the chicken seam-side up on the sheet pan.  

9. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter, add 1 minced clove of garlic and parsley.  

10. Pour over chicken.  

11. Sprinkle the seasoned salt and black pepper over the chicken.  

12. Bake for 22 minutes, broil for 3-4 minutes until golden.

**Always keep an eye on your food when broiling**
