Keto Baked Cheesy Spinach Chicken Rolls
These rolled up chicken breasts are nearly bursting with a gooey filling of ricotta and spinach, all encased in a crispy, golden crust. Finally, your meal is smothered in a smear of marinara and a hefty sprinkling of melted cheese. These baked chicken rolls pair well with a keto soup, salad, or a green vegetable side!

Recipe Steps
steps 6
1 h 30 min
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees and spray a baking dish with pan spray, setting it aside. Prepare the cheese filling by combining the ricotta cheese and chopped spinach together in a bowl. Set this aside for later.Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together an egg (you may need to use 2 eggs for an easier process later, but this additional egg will not be consumed). On a plate, combine the parmesan and almond flour with a fork. Set these 2 items aside for later.Step 3
Prepare 2, 8-oz chicken breasts by butterflying them and then patting them dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, onion, and basil across the inside of the chicken breasts.Step 4
Spread the ricotta filling from Step 1 across the inside of the chicken breasts. Then, roll each breast into a tight roll (but not too tight that the filling squeezes out). Make sure the ends of the chicken are tucked on the underside to avoid the chicken unrolling.Step 5
Dip each breast into the egg, letting any excess drip off, then roll it in the parmesan breading mixture. Make sure all parts of the chicken are covered in the breading, including the openings that expose the ricotta filling. Place each breaded roll in the baking dish.Step 6
Bake the chicken rolls for 60 minutes. Then, spread 1 TB of marinara on the top of each breast followed by about ⅛ c. of mozzarella. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is golden and melted.

Delicious! I used cream cheese because I didn’t have ricotta. Also, I never have luck with cheese staying inside chicken so I made a slit/pocket to put cheese mixture in. Closed with 2 toothpicks. Baked with cheese side up and it all stayed inside.
