Stuffed Chicken Roulade

Print Recipe

Stuffed Chicken Roulade is a flavorful and elegant dish where thinly pounded chicken breasts are rolled around a savory filling, seared to golden perfection, and baked until juicy — ideal for dinner parties or elevated weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup cooked spinach (squeezed dry)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp dried Italian herbs or oregano
  • Toothpicks or kitchen twine
  • Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment or lightly grease it.
  2. Butterfly each chicken breast and pound to 1/4-inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap.
  3. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
  4. Spread spinach, cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic evenly over the chicken.
  5. Roll each breast tightly from one end to the other and secure with toothpicks or tie with kitchen twine.
  6. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear roulades on all sides until golden, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  7. Transfer seared roulades to the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the filling with sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, or different cheeses.
  • Pounding the chicken evenly ensures even cooking and easier rolling.
  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
  • Great paired with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
