Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 slices Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts Ensure slices are uniform for even cooking and easy rolling.
For the Filling
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach Adds vibrant color and fresh flavor; sauté to soften before using.
  • 4 slices Speck Italian cured meat providing smoky richness; substitute with prosciutto or turkey bacon if desired.
  • 1 cup Asiago Cheese Creamy melting cheese that enhances the filling; use mozzarella for a lighter option.
For the Coating
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Provides a crispy texture; use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a healthier choice.
  • 1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese Freshly grated for enhanced flavor; can replace with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
Seasoning and Cooking
