Creamy Spinach Chicken Rolls
My family cannot get enough of my famous Creamy Spinach Chicken Rolls. Cream cheese, spinach and garlic are rolled up in breaded chicken breasts and baked for an experience your taste buds will love. Chicken recipes don't compare to this one.
Ingredients
- 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped cooked spinach, drained
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 large egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
- 1/3 cup unseasoned dry bread crumbs
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Flatten the chicken between sheets of plastic wrap to a uniform 1/4 inch thickness.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the spinach, garlic, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Spoon an equal amount of the mixture across the narrow end of each breast. Roll jelly-roll style and secure with toothpicks.
- Dip in the egg, then roll in the crumbs, and shake off excess.
- In a baking dish, arrange the chicken in one layer, seam side down. Drizzle with the butter.
- Bake 25-30 minutes until golden. Remove to a platter and serve.
