Chicken Spinach Roll Ups by Melonie Katz

8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
4 C. chopped fresh spinach (or 1 package frozen spinach, drained)
1 med. onion, chopped
2 T. olive oil
4 oz. cream cheese (same as 1/2 block)
1/2 C. crumbled feta cheese
1/2 C. shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
1 T. GF flour or GF baking mix
(note:  this recipe would normally use 16 frozen Pepperidge Farms pastry sheets which DO CONTAIN GLUTEN, so you need to find a GF alternative for this, or simply skip this step in the recipe).

   Beat the chicken breasts into thin cutlets and flatten.  If chicken breasts are somewhat thick, use a good knife and cut the chicken breast in half, forming a "pocket."  Be careful not to cut the chicken breast in half.  You will end up being able to open the chicken breast like opening a book... so you'll end up with a very large, but thin chicken breast.  Do this for each chicken breast & set aside.
   Saute spinach & onion in oil until onions are tender & translucent.  Remove from heat.  Toss in all cheeses, egg, and GF flour into pan and stir well.
   Put about an ice cream scoop size dollop of spinach/chicken/GF flour mixture on each chicken breast and spread somewhat thin.  Then roll each chicken breast into a "roll" that resembles a pastry roll.
   If you have a GF pastry alternative, you will then wrap each chicken roll up in the GF pastry, tucking the sides/ends under.  Continue to "wrap" the remaining chicken breasts.
   Butter your casserole dish & line up the chicken roll ups in the pan, seam side down.
   Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.  These can be made a day or two ahead of time, then just pop in the oven before your guests arrive.
   (If you skip the step with the pastry sheets, you can try securing the chicken roll ups with toothpicks, and then remove them prior to serving).
