Easy Spinach Stuffed Chicken Roll Ups

3/10/22

Jump to Recipe Pin Recipe

These Spinach Stuffed Chicken Roll Ups are filled with yummy ricotta, sundried tomatoes and fresh mozzarella then topped with marinara sauce.

Easy Spinach Stuffed Chicken Roll Ups

Ingredients and substitutions

  • Egg whites – whole eggs would also work but will increase the calorie count.
  • Breadcrumbs – leave the breading off altogether for a low-carb meal option.
  • Chicken cutlets – you could also use three chicken breasts sliced in half lengthwise.
  • Olive oil – use any neutral cooking oil like canola or grapeseed oil.
  • Ricotta cheese – leave this out and double up on the mozzarella if you don’t have any ricotta.
  • Mozzarella cheese – or any other cheese of your choice.
  • Mushrooms – feel free to swap out for another veggie of your choice.
  • Sundried tomatoes – leave this out altogether.
  • Spinach – feel free to swap out for another veggie of your choice.
  • Marina sauce – an alfredo or light cream sauce would also be amazing in this recipe.
  • Fresh basil – to garnish.
  • Salt & pepper – to taste.

How to make chicken roll ups

  1. Add the filling to the chicken cutlets.
  2. Roll up the chicken cutlets.
  3. Dip in the egg whites then the breadcrumbs.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes.
  5. Top with marina sauce and cheese then bake until cheese has melted.
  6. Garnish with basil and serve!

Chicken breading

For the breading, dip your chicken in egg whites and then in breadcrumbs. It's a simple combination that gives the chicken a chicken parmesan type of feel. If you only have eggs on hand and don't feel like separating the whites (I usually use a carton of egg whites for convenience), you can go ahead and just use eggs instead. The breading will be similar but may have slightly more calories.

To save time and calories, you can actually leave the breading off the chicken altogether. Once you've rolled up your cutlets and stuffed them, just pop them into the oven to bake. Easy peasy!

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of chicken should I use?

For this recipe you will be using chicken breast cutlets – you can usually find them pre-cut along with other types of chicken. If you're looking to save money, you can use chicken breasts and then cut them in half lengthwise. Each breast will produce 2 cutlets so you would just need 3 chicken breasts for this recipe instead of 6 cutlets. I would not recommend using any other type of chicken because they won’t stuff as well.

What can you put in a chicken roll?

The options are pretty much endless when it comes to what you can put in your chicken roll. I love the combination of spinach, sundried tomatoes and two different cheeses in this recipe, but feel free to switch things up. Just make sure you don’t add too many toppings.

How many calories are in this recipe?

There are 334 calories per chicken roll, so you’re getting a delicious and low-calorie meal option!

What can I serve on the side?

Because the chicken is so filling, you really only need to pair these chicken roll ups with a simple green side dish – I chose broccoli rabe (also known as rapini) because it cooks so quickly in the oven and you can have it roasting while you're working on stuffing and rolling the chicken. A nice side salad, rice, roasted potatoes, pasta or other veggies would also be good.

Storing and reheating

The leftovers from this meal will last in the fridge up to 5 days in glass meal prep containers. I recommend storing in individual serving sizes so you can throw them right into the microwave straight from the fridge!

To reheat, sprinkle a bit of water over top and cover with a paper towel. Reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes until chicken is hot all the way through. Serve with your choice of side and enjoy!

Freezing this recipe

Freeze in individual glass meal prep containers for up to 3 months. You can also store the roll ups in foil containers if you decide to reheat them in the oven. To reheat from frozen, microwave for 6-7 minutes, or reheat in the oven for 45 minutes at 350° Fahrenheit. They make a great freezer meal because you can freeze and reheat, then make your side dish of choice fresh. You’ll save a ton of time!

Notes

Use three chicken breasts sliced in half lengthwise instead of cutlets.
Mix up the veggies to whatever you have on hand.
For a low-carb option, skip the breading.
Try using an alfredo or light cream sauce instead of marinara.
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Sprinkle some water over top then reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.
Freeze this recipe for up to 3 months then reheat in the microwave or the oven at 350° Fahrenheit.

    Loved this recipe. Made it exactly as instructed and my husband and I enjoyed every bite. For the stuffing, if you do not like mushrooms and/or dried tomatoes, , I think you can omit them and it will still be yummy.
    Thank you Toronto girl on Bloor Street.

    Can you tell me what the carbs are if you leave out the breading? I know that this recipe stands as is, and it is great just as written, but I’m on a KETO diet, and thought if I omitted the eggs and breadcrumbs that it would be acceptable to make it. As is, 25g of carbs is way too much for my diet. I hoped that the bread crumbs are the culprit and that if omitted it would be ok to make.
    Thank you!

      Hey Carol! I wish I could be of more help here but I’m honestly not entirely sure. If I had to guess, there are some carbs in the spinach, mushrooms and sundried tomatoes just because they’re veggies and I know veggies have a bit of carbs (though much lower than the breadcrumbs and eggs). What you could do is insert all the ingredients minus the breadcrumbs and eggs into a nutrition calculator like Myfitnesspal and see what the carbs are after you remove those two. Hopefully that helps!
