Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 20m

Yield 4 breasts, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
4 slices swiss cheese
4 slices black forest ham (thinly sliced)
1/2 cup Baby Spinach
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
1/8 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Halve the chicken breasts horizontally separating each into 2 cutlets.
  • Place cutlets in a freezer plastic storage bag and pound into 1/8-inch thick cutlets.
  • Arrange the 4 cutlets on work surface. Season cutlets with salt and pepper on the side facing up. Cover each piece of chicken with 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of cheese. At the larger end of the breast, place a small bundle of baby spinach. Tightly wrap the chicken around the ham, cheese and spinach. The rolls should stay together, but if needed, secure with a toothpick.
  • Heat about 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, use tongs to add the chicken roll-ups to skillet with the seam side down. Season the roll-ups with salt and pepper.
  • Cover the pan loosely with tin foil and cook 4 to 5 minutes, turn roll-ups over and cook the other side 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the cooked roll ups to a serving plate. If toothpicks were used, remove the toothpicks before serving.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons flour to the pan used to cook the chicken, stirring well until there are no lumps.
  • Slowly stir in the chicken stock, Dijon mustard, and lemon zest, scraping up any drippings from the bottom of the pan. Simmer 1 minute.
  • Remove pan from the heat, add the lemon juice and parsley and spoon over chicken.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to substitute sunflower seeds for the pine nuts in the sauce. It turned out great!

These roll-ups are a bit bland for my taste. I think they need more seasoning.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my roll-ups fell apart when I tried to cook them.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I loved these roll-ups. The cheese and sauce really masked the taste of the spinach.

I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and they turned out great. The meat was so juicy and flavorful.

These chicken spinach roll-ups were a hit with my family! The lemon Dijon sauce was the perfect complement to the tender chicken and flavorful spinach.
