Chicken Rollatini with Spinach Parmesan
If your family loves Chicken Parmesan, they will love these stuffed chicken breasts! They are perfect for a large crowd if you’re entertaining, or to feed a hungry family for any weeknight. I have tons of stuffed chicken breast recipes like these Cheesy Jalapeño Stuffed Chicken Breasts, Spinach Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts and Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts, just to name a few!
Since making chicken rollatini stuffed with prosciutto and cheese a few weeks back my husband has been craving chicken rollatini the way he grew up eating it, stuffed with cheese and topped with sauce and more cheese. I added some spinach and it turned out delicious. It’s a cross between my Chicken Parmesan and Spinach Lasagna Rolls.
To serve this chicken rollatini, I like to make a big chopped green salad on the side.
To freeze the leftovers, transfer to freezer safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months.
