Easy Chicken Roll Up Appetizers Food

EASY CHICKEN, SPINACH AND CHEESE ROLL UPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F / 180 C / Gas 4. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non stick spray.
• In a medium sized sauce pan, cook spinach with butter and half cup water on medium heat. Salt and Pepper to taste. Stir frequently until butter is melted and most of the water is cooked out. Set aside to cool. (I use the large packages of spinach to serve on the side - if you don't want to do this, use smaller packages and reduce the butter to half a stick.)
• Take your tenderloins or whole chicken breast and with a meat mallet and a gallon zip lock bag, or plastic wrap under & on top of the chicken, flatten these until they are about a quarter inch (1 cm). You need to be able to pick these up and roll them, so don't smash them too much .
• Next layer a piece of the cheese, the length of the flattened chicken.
• Take a tablespoon or a little more of the spinach, squeeze any liquid out of this and spread on top of the cheese. Too much will squish out and not roll up.
• Have 2 slices bacon ready, and wrap up the chicken, cheese and spinach - pinwheel style, leaving the ends underneath the roll. If using larger pieces of chicken you may need another piece of bacon.
• Bake for 20 - 30 minutes, carefully take pan out of the oven and drain off the liquid that's accumulated. Return to the oven or broiler / grill and brown. By draining the liquid, it allows the bacon to brown up nicely. You may need another few minutes in the oven to brown to your liking.

EASY CHICKEN ROLL UP APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
• Cook in a skillet for about 5 mins, or until done. (Optional - cook with some Italian spices, garlic, or an oil-based salad dressing.).
• Try to pick out a leafy head of lettuce, instead one with crunchy leaves.
• Seperate and wash some lettuce leaves.
• Roll the cooked chicken strips in the lettuce.
• Place about 5 toothpicks (depending on strip of chicken) spaced evenly along the roll.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the strip into pieces. The toothpicks should hold it all together.
• WAYS TO MAKE IT CREATIVE - Think of what else you can add to make this more interesting. Try including different ingredients inside the lettuce with the chicken. Hard-boiled egg, peppers, a strip of fresh parmesean cheese, etc -- Or, try attaching something on top of the roll using the toothpick. I've had great success with small madarin orange slices or cut up strawberries! Perhaps try switching lettuce for spinach, or another green. The possibilities are endless, and kids can often help in the creation process! The chicken can be served warm, or, can be refrigerated and served chilled, both taste great!
