—
### **How to Make It**
1. **Preheat your oven** to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. **Make the stuffing:** In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, cheese, spinach or herbs, garlic, onion, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until evenly combined and slightly moist.
3. **Prepare the chicken:** Lay each chicken thigh flat and season lightly with salt and pepper. Spoon a portion of the stuffing mixture into the center of each thigh, then roll it up and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
4. **Bake:** Cover with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and fully cooked (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
5. **Serve:** Drizzle with a little lemon juice or top with chopped herbs before serving.
