Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Split each chicken breast almost in half and open out like a book. Put each piece of chicken between 2 sheets of cling film and, using a rolling pin, bat out to flatten. Season the chicken all over.
• Put the spinach in a colander and pour over boiling water from the kettle to wilt the leaves. Press out as much water as possible, then tip into a bowl. Add the pine nuts, raisins and spice, season, and mix well to combine. Melt half the butter and add to the bowl.
• Place a slice of ham or prosciutto over each chicken breast and spread with a thin layer of spinach mixture. Roll up and secure with cocktail sticks or string. Heat a knob more of butter and the oil in a pan. Fry the chicken rolls until browned, then remove to a roasting tin and roast for 10-15 mins until cooked through.
• Add the shallots to the pan with the remaining butter and cook gently until softened but not browned. Add the wine and lemon juice, bring to the boil, then simmer until reduced by half.
• Stir in the crème fraîche and simmer for 1-2 mins until thickened. Snip the chives into the sauce and stir lightly. Remove cocktail sticks or string, then slice the chicken and place on warmed plates. Spoon the sauce around and serve with the tians and potatoes.

• Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan and 1 tablespoon butter to the pan. Add chicken and raise heat to medium high. Brown the rolls evenly, 5 minutes, then place on a nonstick cookie sheet and transfer to oven to roast for 15 minutes longer. Add another tablespoon butter to the pan and melt it. Add mushrooms to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until just tender 3 or 4 minutes. Add flour and cook another minute. Whisk in stock. Season pan gravy with mushrooms with salt and pepper and turn off heat. Reheat with moderate flame when you remove chicken rolls from the oven and you are ready to serve.

• To plate, leave rolls whole and spill sauce over top, spinach alongside, or, slice rolls and fan them out over a bed of spinach and top with mushroom sauce.
• *Ask butcher to butterfly the breasts into large cutlets for you. This is a real time-saver! If a butcher is not available to you, cut into each breast from the fatter side and work across the breast, leaving them attached at the opposite side. Open the breast up and pound lightly with a mallet to about a 1/4-inch thickness. Also, in many supermarkets chicken cutlets are available in packages. They are small pieces of thinly sliced breast meat. Simply adapt the method and make 2 small roll-ups rather than 1 large roll up per portion.
