• Season the pounded chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and brush with half of the lemon oil; top with the spinach. Spoon the filling over the top, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Roll up the chicken toward the pointy end; tie with 3 pieces of kitchen twine. Brush with the remaining lemon oil.
• Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Grill the chicken breasts, turning, until cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then remove the twine and slice.
