A delightful twist on stuffed chicken, combining creamy hummus and fresh spinach for a flavorful and healthy meal.
Lay a chicken breast on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and pound it thin using a meat mallet.
Pounding the chicken evenly ensures it cooks uniformly and is easier to roll.
Season the flattened chicken with salt and pepper, then layer fresh spinach leaves and spread hummus evenly over the surface.
Ensure the hummus is spread thinly to prevent it from oozing out during cooking.
Roll up the chicken tightly and secure with toothpicks if needed. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Rolling the chicken tightly helps keep the filling intact while cooking.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken rolls seam-side down and cook until browned on all sides.
Browning the chicken adds a rich flavor and seals in the juices.
Add orange juice and chicken broth to the skillet, reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Covering the skillet helps retain moisture and infuses the chicken with the sauce flavors.
Remove the chicken rolls from the skillet, slice into rounds, and serve with the sauce drizzled over.
Slicing the chicken rolls enhances presentation and makes them easier to serve.
