Cheesy Spinach Chicken Rolls

• 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved lengthwise
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
• 6 mushrooms, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 1/2 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 12 toothpicks

1. Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface; firmly pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a 1/4-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4. Combine mushroom-garlic mixture, cream cheese, spinach, green onions, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
5. Spoon 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture into the middle of each chicken breast. Roll chicken breasts around mixture and secure with toothpicks.
6. Heat remaining 3 tablespoons in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Arrange chicken rolls in the skillet in a single layer; cook until golden, about 5 minutes per side.
7. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven; bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes more.
