1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (for filling)
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (divided)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (for sauce)
Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the chicken by slicing breasts horizontally and pounding them to 1/4 inch thickness.
2. Season chicken on both sides with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, spinach, and half the sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl.
4. Spread filling onto each chicken cutlet and roll tightly, securing with toothpicks if needed.
5. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Sear chicken rolls for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove from pan.
7. Sauté minced garlic in the same pan for 1 minute, then deglaze with chicken broth.
8. Stir in heavy cream, remaining sun-dried tomatoes, and parmesan cheese; simmer until slightly thickened.
9. Return chicken to the pan, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until cooked through (165°F).
10. Serve hot with extra sauce spooned over the top.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing.
If sauce is too thick, add a splash of extra chicken broth.
Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
