Crispy Stuffed Chicken Rolls with Spinach, Feta & Hot Honey Glaze
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt & black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tsp chili flakes
- 1 tsp hot sauce

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap.
Pound gently until evenly thin but not torn.
Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a bowl, combine:
- Fresh spinach
- Crumbled feta cheese
Mix well until evenly combined.
The feta adds creaminess while spinach keeps it fresh and flavorful
Step 3: Stuff & Roll
Spoon the spinach-feta mixture onto the center of each chicken breast.
Carefully roll the chicken tightly like a log.
Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine so the filling stays inside.
Step 4: Bread the Rolls
Prepare 3 bowls:
- Flour
- Beaten eggs
- Breadcrumbs
Roll each chicken piece in flour first.
Dip into the eggs completely.
Coat generously in breadcrumbs for that crispy outer layer
Step 5: Cook the Chicken Rolls
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Sear the chicken rolls on all sides until golden brown.
Transfer to a baking dish.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until fully cooked and crispy.
Step 6: Make the Hot Honey Glaze
In a small saucepan, combine:
- Honey
- Chili flakes
- Hot sauce
Warm gently for 1–2 minutes while stirring.
The glaze should become smooth, glossy, sweet, and spicy
Step 7: Finish & Serve
Remove toothpicks carefully.
Slice the chicken rolls into rounds for a beautiful presentation.
Drizzle generously with hot honey glaze.
Serve warm and enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness
