Good to know

• Even thickness matters. Chicken breasts roll more easily and cook evenly when they’re pounded to an even thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap.
• Squeeze the spinach. Cooked spinach holds a lot of water. Pressing it out keeps the filling from going watery.
• Use toothpicks if a roll won’t stay closed, and remember to take them out before serving.
• Is it done? Chicken is safe at 165°F (74°C) in the center of the roll.
• No egg whites? They help the crumbs stick. Our egg substitutes guide covers the swaps that work for coating.
• Keep the basil fresh until dinner with our tips on storing fresh herbs.
