Preparation

What You Need

1/2 cup (125 ml) cooked spinach with stems removed

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, slightly flattened

2 thin slices ham, cut in halves

1/4 red pepper, cut in thin strips

1 tbsp (15 ml) butter

2 tbsp (30 ml) all-purpose flour

1 clove garlic, minced

3/4 cup (180 ml) real whipping cream

1 1/4 cups (310 ml) milk

1 tsp (5 ml) grated lemon peel

Pinch of ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt

1/4 cup (60 ml) grated Canadian Parmesan cheese

1 tbsp (15 ml) chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

Squeeze spinach until very dry and divide evenly over chicken breasts. Top each breast with a half slice of ham and red pepper strips. Roll up firmly, beginning at thinnest end of breast. Secure each breast with a toothpick and place seam side down in a single layer in loaf pan or casserole; set aside.

In a small saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and garlic, stirring to blend well. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened. Pour over chicken rolls.

Cover loaf pan and bake for 20 minutes, turning chicken once. Uncover and stir sauce, spooning over the chicken. Continue to bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is firm.

To serve, remove chicken rolls and cut each in half or in several slices. Whisk sauce until smooth. Place chicken on a bed of rice or pasta and spoon sauce over top.

Tips

This is an easy all-purpose meal. You can improvise your own stuffing next time you try it.
