Greek Chicken and Spinach Roulade with Lemon Butter Sauce image

I came up with this recipe after making steak gyros, I always end up with left over tzatziki sauce and always ended up throwing some away. This was born out of the hate of wasted good food.

The roulade was a bit too expensive to make. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The roulade was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more herbs and spices next time.

The roulade was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This roulade was a bit dry for my taste. I think I should have used more butter or olive oil in the filling.
