Greek-Inspired Chicken Roulades with Bacon

Ingredients

4 pieces chicken breast
8 slices bacon, sliced
0.5 cup feta cheese
2 cups spinach
2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 tsp black pepper

Cooking instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Mince the garlic and roughly chop the spinach. — 400°F
Butterfly the chicken breasts and pound them to a uniform 1/4-inch thickness. Season each piece with salt and pepper.
Distribute the chopped spinach, minced garlic, and crumbled feta evenly across the chicken breasts. Roll each piece tightly and secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
Wrap each chicken roll in 2 slices of bacon. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the rolls until the bacon is slightly browned on all sides. (about 5 min)
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. (about 20 min) — 400°F
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let rest. Deglaze the pan with lemon juice and dried oregano, scraping up any browned bits, then pour the sauce over the chicken before serving. (about 5 min)
