Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
Step #2 Cut chicken breast into 8 strips (it's ok if they are not all the same size), lay flat on cutting board or surface.
Step #3 Sprinkle top with parsley, salt, & pepper.
Step #4 Sprinkle top a thin layer of cheese & a red pepper slice (you can break up this slice into 2 or 3 smaller pieces if necessary to make it roll more easily inside the chicken).
Step #5 Roll chicken, then wrap each roll in a slice of bacon.
Step #6 Use a toothpick to hold in place, or just place the roll seam side down in a broiler pan.
Step #7 Bake rolls for 30-35 mins, or until chicken is completely cooked through.
Step #8 Broil 6 inches from heat for 5 mins or until bacon is crisp (if you used toothpicks to secure, remove just before broiling; otherwise, the wood will blacken).
Step #9 For bed of spinach (while rolls are baking):.
Step #10 Preheat skillet over medium-high heat.
Step #11 Add 1 tsp of olive oil & clove of garlic to the pan.
Step #12 Wilt the spinach in skillet, then add the wine to deglaze & mix with greens.
Step #13 Serve by placing 2 rolls per plate on a bed of greens.
Step #14 Note: Rachael's recipe had her frying the rolls, so that is an option as well.
Step #15 She put a thin layer of olive oil in a skillet & fried the rolls until golden on all sides & crisp; about 5 or 6 mins.
Step #16 I personally found baking the rolls to be slightly healthier & just as tasty.
