Let’s Make it together
Prep Your Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Start by laying out your chicken breasts and pounding them gently until they’re about half an inch thick—this helps them cook evenly and makes rolling easier.
Create Your Filling: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese with fresh spinach and shredded cheese. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste—it’ll be creamy bliss when baked.
Roll It Up!: Take each chicken breast and spread a generous layer of your filling over it. Slowly roll from one end to the other, tucking in any filling that tries to escape—no one likes a messy roll up!
Coat with Panko!: Dip each rolled-up chicken piece into beaten egg before rolling it in panko breadcrumbs for that golden crunch. Ensure they’re evenly coated for maximum crispiness.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Place your roll ups seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until they’re golden brown and cooked through—your kitchen will smell divine!
Serve with Sauce!: While those beauties are baking, heat up your marinara sauce on low. Ranch Chicken Roll Ups Once the Chicken Roll Ups are done baking, serve them hot alongside the sauce for dipping! Enjoy every last bite.
