Add 1/4 cup feta cheese and 1/4 cup mozarella cheese to cooked spinach mixture and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Flatten 3 half chicken breasts (using the back of a heavy knife or a mallet). Sprinkle with fresh crushed black pepper and salt to taste.
Spread the spinach-cheese mixture on the chicken breasts.
Roll up each chicken breast tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy pan and add stuffed chicken breasts.

Optional: to ensure the chicken is cooked all the way, bake or microwave the browned chicken breasts. Be careful, the cheese/ spinach will ooze out!
