5. 2/3 cup of garlic herb marinade 

6. 4 cloves of garlic

7. 1 medium onion

Directions

1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.

9. Once thoroughly mixed, place about 2-3 spoonfuls of spinach mixture in the middle of the chicken cutlet.  Roll the cutlet from south to north making sure that mixture stays inside of the cutlet.  If needed, you can put a skewer in order that cutlet doesn't fall apart when cooking.

10. Once cutlets are rolled, place in the oven for 15 minutes. 

11. Take out, and flip cutlets over.  Place in the oven for an additional 15 minutes.

Once taken out and ready to serve, use the additional sauce in the baking dish to pour over the chicken for extra flavoring.
