Ingredients

• 1 package (10 ounces) fresh spinach
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
• 1 green onion, finely chopped
• 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced

• Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Combine the basil, thyme, pepper and remaining rosemary; rub over one side of chicken. Spread spinach mixture over plain side; roll up. Secure with toothpicks.
• In a large saucepan, place roll-ups in a steamer basket over 1 in. of boiling water. Cover and steam for 12-15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Yield: 4 servings.
