Every time I make this, people beg me to make it again the next time we are together. I do modify it a bit to make it easier. It takes much longer that the 25 minutes that it says. I saute the spinach in a bit of olive oil and garlic, use jarred or deli roasted red peppers, and store-bought Italian seasoned bread crumbs. I use toothpicks to hold the rolled breasts together until after they are baked. I serve with fresh/frozen green been medley and garlic smashed potatoes.
