- 7 oz Arla Original cream cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded spinach
- 1/4 cup diced roasted red bell peppers
- 1 TBS lemon juice
- ½ tsp paprika
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts approx 2 lbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Canola oil for searing
Using a sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts across the center, like you would a hamburger bun, but don’t cut all the way through, instead, open it up so you have one large, thin piece of chicken.
Preheat oven to 450 F degrees.
Combine Arla cream cheese, spinach, roasted red peppers, lemon juice, and paprika.
Spoon cream cheese mixture onto the open chicken breast.
Roll the chicken breast and criss cross tie it to keep it together while cooking.
Season the exterior of the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
In an ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium high heat.
Sear, and brown the rolled chicken on all sides
Transfer the whole pan to your preheated oven and bake for approximately 9 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F..
Let rest for two to five minutes, then remove the tie and slice.
Enjoy!
