This Rolled Up Chicken with Feta, Spinach, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes is a delicious and elegant dinner featuring juicy chicken breasts filled with creamy feta, tender spinach, and tangy sun-dried tomatoes. It’s easy to prepare, perfect for weeknights or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), drained and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for searing)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for color)
  • Toothpicks or kitchen twine (to secure rolls)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally, then gently pound to an even thickness.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic and spinach until wilted. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in crumbled feta and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to create the filling.
  5. Place a spoonful of the filling on each chicken breast, then roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks.
  6. Season the outside of the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using).
  7. In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil and sear chicken rolls on all sides until golden brown.
  8. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Remove toothpicks before serving. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the filling for extra flavor.
  • Mix a little cream cheese with the feta for a creamier texture.
  • Wrap chicken in prosciutto before baking for a crispy, salty finish.
  • To make ahead, prepare and freeze rolls before baking.
  • Use chicken thighs for a smaller, juicier alternative.
