Παρασκευή
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan setting).
  • Heat a frying pan over high heat.
  • Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
  • Add the olive oil and bell pepper to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and slightly browned, stirring with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the spinach and stir for 1-2 minutes until wilted and the moisture evaporates.
  • Wear gloves and cut each chicken breast horizontally in half. Lay the pieces side by side lengthwise on a sheet of parchment paper with the larger sides facing you.
  • Place a second sheet of parchment paper on top and pound the chicken with a meat mallet until very thin.
  • Remove the top parchment sheet and season the chicken with salt.
  • Spread the cream cheese evenly over the chicken and place the sautéed spinach and peppers lengthwise in the center.
  • Using the parchment paper for support, roll the chicken tightly to encase the filling, forming a log.
  • Wrap the roll in the parchment paper, then wrap it again in aluminum foil, twisting the ends to seal like candy.
  • Place the roll on a baking tray with a rack and transfer it to the oven.
  • Bake on the top rack for 30 minutes, then unwrap the aluminum foil and parchment paper. Bake for an additional 10 minutes until lightly golden.
  • Remove the tray from the oven and let the roll cool slightly.
  • Slice the roll into 16 pieces and serve with mashed potatoes.
