In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach, goat cheese, almonds, breadcrumbs and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
In another bowl, combine the butter, parsley, rosemary, thyme and lemon zest. Set aside.
Lay the chicken breast-side down. Slice through the skin along the backbone of the chicken, cutting through the skin. Using your boning knife and fingers, release the skin from the chicken, angling the knife towards the meat of the chicken. Once you have loosened the skin from the back side, turn the chicken over so it is breast-side up and slice down the center of the breast. Using your boning knife and fingers, pull back the skin from each side. Once you get to the legs and wings, cut around each piece to release the skin from the joint. Take your time, this takes practice, and it doesn't have to be perfect, we just want as much skin as possible. Once you have removed the skin from each side of the chicken, set them aside.
Remove each breast from the chickens by taking your boning knife and following the breast bone down each side. Use the bones as your natural guide, follow it all the way down to remove the breast.
Once the breasts are removed, butterfly each breast by cutting into the thickest part of the breast horizontally, creating a pocket, like opening up a book. Once butterflied, place each breast in between 2 layers of plastic wrap and, using a meat mallet, pound until it is 1/4-inch thick.
Lay the chicken breasts flat and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Divide the herbed goat cheese stuffing between the 4 breasts, placing the stuffing mixture towards the bottom third of the breast, closest to its narrowest point. Roll the breast around the stuffing, tucking in the ends as you roll, like you would a burrito.
Lay the chicken skins out and divide the herb butter between them, placing the butter just below the center point of the skin. Place the rolled breast directly on top of the butter and then wrap the skin around the chicken, tucking in the ends, repeating the same process you did to roll the breasts. Once rolled, secure the skin with 3 toothpicks, one in the middle and one on each end.
Heat the oil in a nonstick, oven-safe saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the roulades and sear on all sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove the toothpicks, slice and serve.
Cook's Note: Save the rest of the chicken to make the best chicken stock and chicken noodle soup!

Excellent! I only had filet chix breast (2 so I did all steps except the boning process. The flavor of the stuffing is amazing and since I didn't have skin on the breast I placed the herb butter in the skillet with the oil and seared the chix in the herb butter - WOW! was that flavorful big time. Husband enjoyed it and it was easy to make. Will make this again - this is one for the recipe box! Enjoy!

This was my first time cutting up a chicken. Luckily I had this recipe on DVR and I was able to watch and re-watch each step and how to do it, as it was difficult. It was worth the effort. I made a dinner for a group of friends and each of them were impressed. Once again I thank you Kelsey!
