Add spinach, garlic and breadcrumbs; cook and stir for 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper; set aside to cool.
Lay chicken on the work surface. Place a cheese slice folded in half and 3 tablespoons of spinach mixture on each slice of chicken. Roll up and close the overlap with a greased toothpick (like you are sewing so you can easily turn it in the pan).
Heat a large non-stick skillet over high heat; add olive oil. Sear chicken on all sides until browned (about 3 minutes). Reduce heat, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of water; cover chicken and cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks before serving.
*You can use prepackaged thinly sliced chicken breasts, adjusting the filling of each one according to its size.
