2 oz feta cheese
2 tsp olive oil
6 (3 to 4 oz) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
4 oz fresh spinach leaves, washed, dried, stemmed
6 oz bottled red roasted bell peppers, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup flour

Prep & Cooking Time: 45 min.
Yield: 6 servings

Directions:
Trim all visible fat from chicken breasts. Cover cutting board with a sheet of plastic wrap and place chicken breasts on top of plastic wrap. Then cover chicken breast with another sheet of plastic wrap. With a meat mallet pound the chicken to 1/4-inch (1 cm) thickness. Remove plastic wrap and cover each chicken breast with spinach leaves. Place a strip of roasted pepper across the center of each chicken piece. Mold feta cheese into 6 logs and place one next to each strip of pepper. Roll-up chicken, enveloping spinach, pepper and feta and secure with a wooden skewer or toothpick. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F / 190 degrees C. In a small bowl place flour and season with black pepper and herbs. Roll outer layer of chicken in the seasoned flour and shake off any excess. In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Saute chicken rolls until all sides are light brown. Place chicken rolls on a baking sheet or dish and bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Set rolls aside for 5 minutes before removing skewers. Make sure chicken is thoroughly cooked prior to serving.
