Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Choose the Right Chicken Breasts: For this recipe, it's best to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Pound the Chicken Breasts: Pounding the chicken breasts helps to tenderize them and make them more uniform in thickness. This will also help them cook more evenly.
  • Season the Chicken Breasts Generously: Don't be afraid to season the chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach is the best choice for this recipe. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken Breasts: The chicken breasts should be cooked until they are just cooked through. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Use Good Quality Parmesan Cheese: The Parmesan cheese is a key ingredient in this recipe. Use a good quality Parmesan cheese that has been grated fresh.
  • Serve the Chicken Rollatini Immediately: The chicken rollatini is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that the chicken is hot and juicy.
