Bacon-wrapped Chicken Rolls

This is one of my favorite recipes just because it can be cooked in a small toaster oven...and in the summer heat of Houston this is a very big advantage! It is wonderful also because you can put almost anything in the center of the roll. This recipe uses spinach, Fontina cheese and ham slices but you could just as easily use blanched carrots, Parmesan cheese and Panchetta! Use your imagination! I promise you won't be disappointed!

Stuff them with whatever you can imagine!

          

One tiny toaster oven produces much
less heat!!



3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin and cut in 1/2

6 slices Applewood-smoked ham

1 handful of baby spinach, washed and dried

6 slices Fontina cheese

6 slices thickly sliced bacon

Layer the ham, spinach and cheese on top of each piece of chicken; roll up. Secure each roll with one slice of bacon by wrapping it around.

Bake at 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Cover the top of the dish if the chicken begins to brown too much before the hour is up. Serve on top of rice or with mashed potatoes.

If you don't want to use the bacon just secure the roll with toothpicks before baking.
