Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Mix together the spinach, peppers, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Butterfly the chicken: Holding your knife parallel to the cutting board, slice a breast through the middle, stopping about 1/2-inch short of the other side. Open the breast up like a book and flatten it with your palm. Place between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to a little less than 1/2-inch thick. Repeat with the remaining breasts.
- Divide the spinach mixture into four portions and place a portion in the center of each breast. Roll the breasts tightly around the filling and secure with kitchen twine. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roll-ups and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the filling registers 160 degrees F, another 6 to 8 minutes.
- Transfer the roll-ups to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat (be careful, the handle will be very hot). Add the shallots and cook until softened, stirring, about 1 minute. Add the wine and boil until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth; boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Off the heat, whisk in the butter and season with salt and pepper.
- Cut away the twine and slice the chicken into 1-inch rounds. Serve with the pan sauce and sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, mozzarella, and 1 clove minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Place a chicken thigh between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet, rolling pin, or heavy pan until about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick. Season on both sides with salt and pepper and repeat with remaining thighs.
- On a clean sheet of plastic wrap, lay 2 slices of prosciutto vertically, overlapping slightly. Lay a chicken thigh on top. Spread a quarter of the spinach filling evenly over the chicken. Starting from the bottom, tightly roll up. Wrap the chicken roll tightly in plastic wrap to secure. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes, until firm.
- Meanwhile, turn the broiler to high.
- Cut the bell pepper in half and remove the seeds and membranes. Place cut-side down on a prepared baking sheet.
- Broil until the pepper starts to char and turn black, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit for 5 minutes to soften. Use a paper towel to gently rub off the charred bits and skin, then roughly chop. Set aside.
- Turn the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken rolls and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the prosciutto is evenly browned, securing with toothpicks if needed. Transfer the chicken rolls to a baking sheet.
- Bake the chicken rolls for 15-20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettucine and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup (240 ml) of pasta water, then drain and set aside until ready to serve.
- Heat the skillet used to cook the chicken over medium-low heat. Add the roasted red pepper and remaining 2 cloves minced garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
- Add the lemon juice and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken stock and bring to boil.
- Transfer the red pepper mixture to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour the sauce back into the pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk in the cold butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss to coat, adding some of the reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
- Thinly slice the chicken rolls.
- Divide the fettuccine between serving plates, top with the chicken, and garnish with parsley and pepper.
- Enjoy!

- Make the filling. In a mixing bowl combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, chopped walnuts (save ¼ cup walnuts for later), spinach, sundried tomatoes, parsley, garlic and oregano. Add a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Drizzle with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. Mix until well combined.
- Now, you need to make a pocket in each chicken breast. Lay a chicken breast flat on a cutting board. Place a hand firmly on top of the breast. Insert a good chef’s knife in the thickest part of the breast and cut through to make a pocket about 3 to 4 inches wide (only cut ¾ of the way in or you will split the chicken breast).
- Spoon the stuffing mixture into the pocket of each chicken breast (try to equally divide the stuffing among all four pieces).
