A complete guide to creating delicious cheese and spinach-stuffed chicken rollatini using various cooking methods for perfect results.

# Ingredients:

→ For the Chicken Rollatini

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to ¼-inch thickness)
02 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
03 - ½ cup ricotta cheese
04 - ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
05 - 1 cup fresh spinach (sautéed and chopped)
06 - ½ cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
07 - 2 large eggs (beaten)
08 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
09 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
10 - 1 teaspoon dried basil
11 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ Optional Garnish

12 - Fresh parsley (chopped)
13 - Extra grated parmesan cheese

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to ¼-inch thickness.
02 - In a bowl, mix ricotta, parmesan, mozzarella, sautéed spinach, garlic powder, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
03 - Lay out the flattened chicken breasts. Spread a thin layer of the cheese filling onto each breast, leaving a small border. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
04 - Dip each roll in the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, roll it in breadcrumbs for an even crust.
05 - Baking Method: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Pan-Frying Method: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the rolls for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden, then finish baking in the oven if needed. Air Frying Method: Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C). Place rolls in the basket, ensuring they don’t touch, and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway.
06 - Allow the rolls to rest for 5 minutes after cooking. Remove toothpicks, garnish with parsley and extra parmesan, and serve warm.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Pound chicken breasts evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
02 - Use toothpicks to secure the rolls and prevent unwrapping.
03 - Drizzle marinara or Alfredo sauce for added richness.
04 - For an extra-crispy exterior, use panko breadcrumbs.
05 - Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
