Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 ounces sliced baby bella mushrooms
1/2 baguette, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved lengthwise and pounded 1/4 inch thick
1 cup grated mozzarella
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
4 cups baby spinach
1 pound asparagus, steamed, blanched or sauteed, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix together the butter, basil, parsley and garlic in a small bowl. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Heat a 9- or 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of the compound butter in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their liquid, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
  • Melt 2 more tablespoons of the compound butter in the skillet. Remove from the heat and cover the bottom of the skillet with baguette rounds. Place in the oven and bake until the bottoms are browned and toasted, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the chicken breasts flat on a work surface. Sprinkle both sides lightly with salt and pepper. Mix together the mozzarella, mayonnaise and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan in a medium bowl. Spread a heaping tablespoon of the mixture on a chicken breast with a spatula or spoon. Top the mixture with 6 to 7 spinach leaves and a few mushrooms. Roll up the chicken, starting with the narrowest side to create a short, thick roll. Cut the roll in half crosswise. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and filling.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven. Flip the baguette rounds. Arrange the chicken cut-side up on top of the toasted baguette rounds. Add a few pats of compound butter on top of the chicken. Sprinkle the rounds with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and bake until the chicken is fully cooked, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Top the asparagus with any remaining compound butter and serve with the roll-ups.

These roll-ups are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love them and they don't even realize they are eating spinach!

These roll-ups are great for meal prep. I made a double batch and then froze half of them. They reheat really well in the microwave.

I added some chopped spinach to the garlic sauce and it was delicious! It gave the sauce a nice green color and added some extra nutrients.

I made these roll-ups with chicken breasts instead of thighs and they turned out great! They were still very juicy and flavorful. I also used a low-fat cream cheese to make them a little healthier.
