I found this in the "Healthy Bites" publication at my local Weis grocery store and I am posting for safe keeping. It was in the "Cancer Control" section of the magazine.

These roll-ups were a lot of work to make and they didn't taste that great.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my roll-ups didn't look as good as the ones in the pictures.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my roll-ups didn't turn out very well. The chicken was dry and the spinach was overcooked.

These roll-ups are a great appetizer or main course. I love serving them with a side of rice or salad.

I'm going to try making these roll-ups with different types of cheese. I think they would be great with mozzarella or cheddar.

I made these roll-ups for my kids and they loved them. They're a great way to get them to eat their spinach.

These roll-ups were a hit with my family! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the spinach was wilted perfectly, and the feta cheese added a nice tang. I will definitely be making these again.
