1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay chicken breasts flat and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Spread cream cheese evenly over each chicken breast.
Top with spinach leaves and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Roll up each chicken breast tightly and secure with toothpicks if needed.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
Add chicken roll ups and pan-sear until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side.
Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
In the same pan, melt butter and add minced garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Return chicken to the pan and spoon some garlic herb butter over each roll up.
Transfer pan to preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
Remove toothpicks, slice each roll up into three pieces.
Arrange sliced roll ups in a fan shape on a white round plate.
Drizzle with remaining garlic herb butter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
