Instructions

Gather all ingredients and ensure the spinach is fully drained to prevent excess moisture. Preheat oven to 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius).
Slice each chicken breast horizontally without cutting through completely, then open and pound lightly for even thickness.
Lay the chicken flat, layer spinach and mozzarella on top, and roll tightly from one end, keeping the filling inside.
Place rolls seam-side down in a baking dish, top with more spinach and mozzarella, cover with foil, and bake for 45 minutes, uncovering near the end to brown the cheese.

Notes

Pound the chicken evenly: Use a meat mallet to gently pound the chicken to an even thickness. This helps it cook evenly and makes it easier to roll.
Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine: After stuffing and rolling, use toothpicks or twine to keep the roll together. This keeps all that tasty filling from spilling out while it cooks.
Don’t overstuff: Use just enough filling to roll the chicken without it bursting open. Too much stuffing can make it hard to seal and cook properly.
Sear before baking for extra flavor: Quickly sear the stuffed rolls in a hot pan before baking. This adds a golden crust and locks in moisture for juicy chicken every time.
