Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place chicken on a cutting board. Butterfly each breast by slicing horizontally, then pound thin until about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. Step 2

    Divide spinach and mozzarella between the two breasts, leaving a 1-inch border. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks if needed.

  3. Step 3

    Mix flour with salt and pepper on a plate. Coat each roll lightly on all sides.

  4. Step 4

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear the rolls 3 minutes per side until golden brown and chicken is cooked through.

  5. Step 5

    Pour marinara sauce around the rolls. Sprinkle parmesan over top and simmer 2 minutes until sauce bubbles.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot directly from the skillet or plated with sauce spooned over.
