Add some pizzaz to your dinnertime chicken routine with these super simple chicken roll-ups, ready in a quick 30 minutes. Tender chicken is pounded thin then topped with spinach, cheese, and sausage, then rolled, breaded and baked. Turkey pepperoni Turkey pepperoni is full of flavor and perfect as the sausage. It comes already sliced and leftovers are great as a pizza topping or added to salads. Be sure to thaw the spinach and squeeze it dry well to ensure it doesn't water out when the chicken is baking. Prepare a brown and wild rice pilaf with simple peas and carrots stirred in as a vegetable-forward way to complete the plate.
