Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to even 1/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a skillet, sauté chopped spinach over medium heat until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Squeeze out excess moisture.
In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach, cream cheese, crumbled feta, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until well combined.
Divide the spinach-feta mixture evenly among the flattened chicken breasts. Roll each breast tightly from one short end to the other, tucking in the sides. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Brush each rolled chicken breast with olive oil, then roll in panko breadcrumbs to coat evenly. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and coating is golden and crispy. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While chicken bakes, make the whipped feta: blend feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with a splash of water if needed.
Make the hot honey drizzle: stir together honey and sriracha in a small bowl. Adjust spice level to taste.
To serve, spread whipped feta on plates, top with sliced chicken rolls, and drizzle generously with hot honey. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based cream cheese and feta alternative. The hot honey drizzle can be made milder by reducing the sriracha or sweeter by adding more honey.
