Preparation
1
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and pound evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2
In a small bowl, combine the light cream cheese with chopped fresh sage leaves and fresh spinach. Mix well.
3
Spread an even layer of the cream cheese-spinach mixture over one side of each pounded chicken breast, leaving a small border around the edges.
4
Carefully roll up each chicken breast tightly, starting from one end. Secure the roulades with kitchen twine or toothpicks to prevent them from unrolling during cooking.
5
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken roulades and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6
Reduce heat to medium-low, add the chicken broth to the skillet, cover, and let simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7
Remove the roulades from the skillet, remove twine or toothpicks, and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving with the pan sauce.
