Chicken thigh cutlets with spinach, cheese, and garlic are a fragrant dish that combines the tenderness of meat, the juiciness of greens, and the spiciness of cheese. This recipe comes from European cuisine, where harmony of flavors and simplicity of preparation are valued. Pounded chicken thighs serve as the base for rolls filled with a spinach-cheese filling with a hint of garlic. Baked in the oven under a layer of melted mozzarella, they acquire a golden crust and rich flavor. These cutlets are perfect for a cozy dinner or festive table, especially with a side of fresh vegetables or a light salad. Their tender texture and balanced taste make the dish a favorite among gourmets and fans of home cooking.
