Creamy Chicken Roulade with Spinach and Mushrooms
This isn’t just any chicken dish, folks. It’s a chicken roulade that’s stuffed with spinach and mushrooms, smothered in a sauce that will make you question all other sauces. Just look at that beauty!
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, diced
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and start daydreaming about how amazing your kitchen is about to smell. Trust me; it’s going to be glorious.
- Take those chicken breasts and gently pound them to a nice even thickness. Not too thin, or they’ll cry, and we don’t want to hurt the chicken’s feelings.
- In a skillet over medium heat, drizzle some olive oil and toss in the garlic. Sauté until fragrant and don’t pretend you don’t want to eat it right this second. Add the diced mushrooms and spinach, cooking until the mushrooms are soft and the spinach has wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese. Fold in your delicious sautéed mixture and get ready to fill those chicken breasts!
- Spread this heavenly filling on each chicken breast and roll them up tightly. Use toothpicks to secure them if necessary; no one wants a runaway filling!
- Arrange the roulades in a greased baking dish, drizzle with a bit more olive oil, and sprinkle some extra herbs on top. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden.
- Once done, let them rest for a couple of minutes (because patience is a virtue). Slice them up, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and enjoy the rounds of applause that you’ll definitely get!
So there you have it! A creamy chicken roulade that’s guaranteed to impress (or, at the very least, keep everyone at the dinner table long enough for you to enjoy your own masterpiece). Happy cooking!
