BUFFALO CHICKEN ROLL-UPS

MIKE'S CHICKEN ROLLUPS

Steps:

• Pound the chicken flat. I use a method I saw on TV: Butterfly the breast, and use a heavy iron skillet to pound it flat instead of a hammer. one or two good whacks is all it takes.
• Place the ingredients on the chicken. I always place the ham first, as a barrier to keep the provolone from escaping. The spinach is last.
• Roll up the chicken firmly. The spinach should crunch when you rollup the chicken.
• place the two rollups seam side down in a baking dish. Spoon some gravy over the ttop of the rollups.
• Cover the baking dish with foil.
• Bake for 45 minutes.
• spoon more gravy over the cooked rollups, and sprinkle bacon bits over them.
• Serve.
