Ingredients
- 6 boneless and skinless chicken thighs (trimmed of all visible fat)
- 3 teaspoons vegetable stock powder (I use Vegeta)
- 1 pinch salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 pinch garlic powder (adjust to taste)
- 3 tablespoons sundried tomato pesto (divided, option to use tomato paste)
- 6 slices shortcut bacon
- 12 cubes reduced fat feta cheese (1-inch in size)
- 24 leaves fresh baby spinach
- drizzle of garlic olive oil
Steps
-
Preheat your oven to 220C | 425F.
-
Place the chicken on a board/work surface. Lay each fillet flat and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon vegetable stock powder per fillet, salt to season and the garlic powder (enough to suit your taste buds). Rub the seasonings into the fillet.
-
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of the tomato pesto (or paste) per fillet, onto each chicken thigh.
-
Lay a slice of bacon over each chicken fillet, and four spinach leaves per fillet. Place 2 cubes of feta cheese onto each thigh (you can crumble the feta with your fingertips for even distribution).
-
Firmly roll up each chicken breast (with the smallest width/side facing you) and secure with 2 or 3 toothpicks.
-
Lightly rub a little extra salt and garlic powder on the outside of each chicken roll and drizzle with a small amount of garlic olive oil.
-
Place the stuffed chicken rolls into an oven proof baking dish, and cover with foil.
-
Bake for about 25 - 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
-
Uncover and change oven settings to grill/broil on medium heat, and grill your chicken for a further 5 minutes on each side, or until each roll is nice and golden in colour.
-
Remove and serve.
