How to Make Spanakopita Chicken Ala Lori

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves garlic, minced, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
  3. Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a clean surface. Divide the spinach mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, leaving a 1/4-inch border.
  4. Roll up each chicken breast tightly and secure with toothpicks.
  5. In a shallow dish, melt 1/4 cup butter. Brush melted butter over each chicken roll. In a separate shallow dish, place 1 cup breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken roll in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  6. Place the chicken rolls on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks and serving. Enjoy!
